Family Feud At Memorial For Bobbi Kristina

Tensions between the families of Bobbi Kristina Brown's parents have been aired during a memorial service for the 22-year-old, who died last week.

Mourners gathered in Georgia for the funeral service to remember the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.

But the event, held at St James United Methodist Church, was interrupted by the airing of a long-standing rift between Bobbi Kristina's famous mother and father.

Leolah Brown, the sister of Bobby Brown, walked out of the church during the service to speak to reporters.

She said she was angry because Pat Houston, the sister-in-law and former manager of Whitney Houston, was addressing the funeral.

"I told her that Whitney is going to haunt her from the grave," she said.

She added that the feud between the Houstons and the Browns is "just getting started."

Although the service was closed to the public, scores of onlookers also converged on the area.

Grammy-winning singer Monica and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed were among the mourners at the event held in Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta.

Bobbi Kristina passed away at a hospice last Sunday following months spent in a medically-induced coma.

Doctors said she suffered irreversible brain damage after she was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her Atlanta home on 31 January. 

The incident remains unexplained.

A hearse carrying the coffin was escorted to the church by policemen on motorcycles. It was followed by three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the service and a procession of dozens of cars.
