Frank Sinatra fans gathered by the hundreds outside a church today as family and a who's who of the entertainment world came to bid a final farewell.
More than 400 friends were invited to his noon funeral, a liturgy planned to feature uplifting music and remembrances by Frank Sinatra Jr., Gregory Peck and others.
The Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Church had been transformed into a forest of white flowers for the service.
Sinatra's casket was blanketed with gardenias.
Mourners who entered the church today included former first lady Nancy Reagan, Tony Bennett, Joey Bishop, Don Rickles, Paul Anka, Tony Curtis, Sophia Loren, Wayne Newton, Milton Berle and Dionne Warwick.
Also seen were Red Buttons, Tim Conway, Diahann Carroll, Angie Dickinson, Marlo Thomas, Phil Donahue, Tony Danza, Ed McMahon and Tom Dreesen, the comic who opened for Sinatra for many years.
As a skywriter sketched a white heart in the sunny sky, Cardinal Roger Mahony, archbishop of Los Angeles, followed a procession of altar servers into Good Shepherd Church to celebrate the noon Mass.
A glossy white ticket with "Francis Albert Sinatra Funeral Mass" printed in purple was required to enter Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Church, which was transformed into a forest of white flowers.
Sinatra's widow, Barbara, and a family contingent were to later accompany Sinatra's casket to the Palm Springs area.
The interment site at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City is where his mother, Natalie "Dolly" Sinatra, and father, Anthony Martin Sinatra, are buried.
Sinatra was 82 when he died Thursday of heart failure.

@@miamyamoe1 👀
Sophia Loren is beau-ti-ful!
There will NEVER be another Frankie.
Frank Sinatra was in a class all by himself. Never gonna be another like him. I wasn't born until late 1970s but my late grandma used to always listen to his music. It rubbed off on me. I have some of his albums in my vinyl collection. Rest in peace.
Biggest Icon in the world of . music & film. This the loss of a legend💋
@@berta7019 I know. He's not even my generation but I love his songs and will miss him. Glad we have film of his performances. 💕
Never forget when Sinatra told them if his friend Sammy couldn't stay in the hotel neither was he. Grande!!
Joe Biden: he ain’t black..
That's right
it wasnt Sammy. it was actually Quincy Jones
Now This Man Was A Real Entertainer
RIP Frank!
I know where I was when Frank Sinatra died. On a lay-by in Louisiana on my first trip to the USA. Frank Sinatra was something! Timeless music and performances. Everyone should have one of his recordings.
From the books I’ve read, Sinatra was an extraordinary man. He stood against racism. He was for civil rights. I will admire this man for those qualities and the greatness of his singing. A wonderful human being
He stoodby Sammy Davis, when nobody else would,..courage......Ireland

And yet somebody has the audacity to put up a Frank in hell sign. People are just stupid sometimes
@@johnlavery6116There were plenty of people who stood up for Sammy.
I still listen to at least one Frank Sinatra album every week. The man was a National Treasure!
Thomas Raffa Sinatra was THE voice of the 20th Century. I understand Bing Crosby said, "He has a once in a lifetime voice, why it had to be in *my* lifetime, I'll never know.” I thank God that I was fortunate enough to live during Sinatra's lifetime, and during a time when I could hear music anytime I wanted. How rich we all are to live at this time and to have heard the Maestro sing. I thought it was so fitting that he should leave the earth at the end of the century he defined. His music willl live forever.

Here,here 👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺😁🥃🥃
He was the best ever. Barb d.
Too sad to comprehend. He was a legend for sure.
Alot of these stars have passed away since..Rickles Gregory peck,milton Beryl tony curtis..etc
Somewhere above with Dean Martin and others they are together again for eternity.
milton BERYL??? Really??? Go away.
Frank was an amazing singer .A Big loss to the world when he died he gave his fans so much pleasure over the years very talented man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔😢😢😢
For me Frank remain one of the greatest singers of all times & he really gave us a great number of beautiful songs his voice is showing his quality & of how he is approaching naturally the beautiful phrases & capturing completely the moment of the influence on us he really has it I spared the new York which always remain one of my favorite .
Start spreading the news I'm leaving today. RIP Frank
All of the legends, wow. Bless Liza Minnelli’s heart she heard a fan call out her name, and turned around to wave.
She always does that even when she Is leaving a restaurant or the dog groomer.
Paparazzi
Tremendous loss to the world when we lost Frank Sinatra on 5-14-98. What an artist he was. I like the white heart in the sky, how appropriate that someone did that! FS gave us almost 60 decades of beautiful music, which may be listened to by many until at least the end of this century, and maybe into the next! Thank you, Frank, for your music, which has lifted the spirits of so many for so long! It's been 20 years now, since he has been gone and it's hard to believe. I will always love his music; I will always remember meeting him several times and attending his concerts a number of times. RIP, FS.
@Roger Martin No, Frank Sinatra was gracious to all of the singers in his era but he stated that Tony Bennett "had the best pipes in the business" and additionally, Elvis and Sinatra were two very different types of singers. They met on one show, but it was more for publicity than artistry! Sinatra was well known by then, Elvis was a great fad, while it lasted, but Sinatra's music is legend and far more lasting. If you're still around 3/4ths of a century from now, you will see and realize that! Sinatra's vocal range was far greater than Elvis, (who couldn't play more than about 4 chords on his guitar) and just wasn't the musician that Sinatra was; overall, there's just no comparison!
@Roger Martin I couldn't disagree more! Sinatra brought something to a song that none of the others could. Not just tone, but phrasing, range, pause, and inimitable style. No one could match that--not Bing Crosby, not Elvis Presley, not even Nat ;King' Cole, however great he was. And Tony Bennet is nowhere near Sinatra's range.
@@StevenTorrey Tony Bennett puts me to sleep....🙄😋😔
@Mark Cianfarani Seriously: talent reduced to popularity contest. It doesn't work that way.
Funny how times changes you .....
I didn't really go for him much in the 60/70's
As I aged I realised just how unique he was .
A fine wine
I recognised his ability to get more out of one line of lyric than anybody else .
He didn't just sell a song...
He took you full journey ......
He gave a lifetime of memory and soul searching ......
Cheap at the price
RIP Sir Sinatra
👋👍😊
Then you missed a lot I am not keen on his early years but in the 50s oh boy Learning the blues ,Love is the tender trap ,All the way My way,Strangers in the night and so on It was 1953 when I first fell for his voice Still enjoy playing his music
I was 12 years old when I bought my first SINATRA LP im now 70 n have every CAPITOL LP n every RIPRISE LP n over 300 SINATRA CD'S I listen to SINATRA every day of my life GOD BLESS HIM n THANK YOU MR SINATRA.,PS I went to over 30 SINATRA concerts,I have the ticket stubs to prove it.
I was in the parking lot of a theater in Florida back in the seventies. Sinatra was going to sing at the theater later that evening. As I was walking across the lot a helicopter came down from the sky and out bounced the man himself. As luck would have it another man with a baby in his arms was standing next to me. Sinatra walked right up to us because he wanted to see the kid. His eyes were strikingly blue. He touched the baby and said some nice things and moved on. I was dumbfounded.
Mr. Sinatra, Great Singer, Great Actor. GOD Bless Him! Since Brazil,Jun,02,2020.
Amazing. So many superstars turning out to pay their respects to Frank. Many of the faces i see are no longer with us now. Frank was a very special man. I hope he is resting peacefully up in heaven with God. AMEN.🙏⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Bigger than life was The Chairman of the Board.
ALAN, WE'VE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT FRANK FROM MR. RICKLES...!
Didn't anyone read Tina Sinatra's biography, like I did? She said that stubborn body wouldn't let him go, and when he finally passed away, she said "He didn't die; he escaped".
Even as a rock fan all my life I have to admit he was the guvernor.
Don Rickles must have been really torn up about Frank Sinatra's death because Sinatra helped launch Rickle's career in the early days, RIP to both of them.
Z&kjw
Marco Manganzo!!! Was in his car, listening to your music. Now he's a highway!!! Don on the Tonight Show with Frank.
@@glennsgirl7183 Marco Mangananzo was hurt
Don Rickles was actually one of the pallbearers
Don was an acquaintance, i wouldn't really call him a friend. Frank's friends were in Palm Springs and came over to his house all the time.
He did it his way
@Roger Martin Your just jealous
I have Sinatra as part of my favorites on Sirius in my car. All the old wonderful songs and all the best voices that are no longer with us. RIP to you all.
Me too. It's one of my favorite channels.
I was in Hamburg Germany peforming, and the only station that spoke English was CNN - and when they said that "America says good-bye to ole blue eyes" I cried like a baby - in between my sets for performing I cried for 2 whole days! RIP Frank Sinatra - there'll never be another like you!!!
I saw him before he died in Detroit and the whole show until the end the orcastra conductor turned around was Frankie Jr. Wonderful show
I don't remember who said that Frank could sing the phone book and put tears in your eyes
Tony Bennett still going Strong in 2019
And now 2021!
And now 2022!!
And now 2023
Good bye bennett , we still love u
That was really much more touching than I thought it would be especially watching his biography last night on how he really spun the world backwards on racism before anyone else really... He was a good man besides being a big talent and that skywriting of a heart was very beautiful God bless you Mr Sinatra
NEW YORK,NEW YORK. SUNG BY FRANK SINATRA, AMAZING! I LOVE THIS SONG! BRAZIL, JUN,02,2020.

Five years ago of Sinatra's Funeral. Good songs and movies he left forever. RIP
1:34 Tony Curtis stunning
Never forget Frank
Frank had it all, money, fame, connections, but no matter who you are, once you're dead life goes on without you. But saying that this was 21 years ago and a lot of these stars have also passed away, never more to have that warm Californian sun beating down on them.
I continue to miss you - always to be remembered - never to be duplicated. Good bye, Francis.
Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas still had their beautiful hair.
Tony Curtis That Was not His Own hair,it was A wig....
