Thousands attend service for Floyd

The last chance for the public to say goodbye to George Floyd drew thousands of mourners to a church in Houston where he grew up. 


Reflecting the weight of the moment, the service and public visitation drew the families of Black victims in other high-profile killings whose names have become seared in the US's conversation over race - among them Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin.


"It just hurts," said Philonise Floyd, George Floyd's brother, sobbing as he ticked off some of their names outside the Fountain of Praise church. "We will get justice. We will get it. We will not let this door close."
