US mourners arrive for George Floyd memorial

Hundreds of mourners began to gather at a church in North Carolina on Saturday for a memorial service for George Floyd in his home state.

Two lines of people about 100 deep formed at the entrance as a hearse bearing Floyd’s coffin arrived at a church in Raeford.

As the casket rolled in, chants of “black power,” and “George Floyd” and “No justice, no peace,” echoed from beneath the covered entrance.

Floyd, 46, died after a Minneapolis police officer placed a knee on his neck for several minutes on May 25.
