In this handout photo provided by Harrison Funk/The Jackson Family, Rev. Al Sharpton speaks at Michael Jackson's funeral service held at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Sept. 3, 2009 in Glendale, Calif.

More than two months his death, Michael Jackson was entombed at a private ceremony before more than 200 family and friends Thursday night. The service was delayed more than an hour by his family's tardy arrival at Forest Lawn Glendale.

Celebrities including 77-year-old Elizabeth Taylor waited in the stubborn heat for the outdoor service that was scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

The Rev. Al Sharpton spoke at the ceremony, and Gladys Knight performed. Just before 10 p.m., Sharpton posted on his Twitter page that "Michael Jackson has been laid to rest."
