Brown's body finally moved

The body of James Brown has been moved to a tomb at daughter Deanna Brown Thomas's South Carolina home after a private ceremony led by Rev Al Sharpton.

The body of the late James Brown has finally been moved to a tomb at the home of one of his daughters, Deanna Brown Thomas, in South Carolina. He's not to get too comfy, however, as according to reports, the soul star's body may be moved once a public mausoleum is built for him.

Anyway Brown's partner Tomi Rae Hynie, his children and some close friends were present at a private interment ceremony on Saturday presided over by the Rev Al Sharpton. Hynie said: "James would have been very proud and happy to see that all of the family was together, and it was just beautiful. Rev Sharpton had some very, very beautiful things to say."

As previously reported, legal disputes over Brown's estate continue, and it was those disputes which led to the eleven week delay in laying him to rest, but all parties finally agreed on a resting place, his children agreeing that they "wanted their father entombed with dignity".
