Daughter leads tearful farewell

MICHAEL JACKSON’S daughter fought back tears to pay tribute to the “best father” imaginable last night as an estimated audience of more than a billion tuned in to bid farewell to the King of Pop.

A host of the world’s biggest stars gathered for a glittering memorial ceremony in Los Angeles to pay tribute to Jackson.

But it was two children who made the greatest impression of the night. Jackson’s 11-year-old daughter, Paris Michael Katherine tearfully spoke in public for the first time.
