'This is going to be a long drawn out process,' said Leolah, was  reportedly kicked out of the service which began at 11am.

Her hearse was escorted to St. James United Methodist Church by a huge police motorcade and her coffin was carried into the invitation only service by four men dressed in black suits as family members arrived for the 11am start.

Eight police motorcycles escorted three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the church ahead of the service. A procession of dozens of cars followed.

Security was tight at the church, with check points being manned by family personnel and Georgia State Troopers as scores of media and members of the public gathered outside.  

Those in attendance included her father Bobby Brown and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, but one very notable absentee was Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who found her unconscious in a bathtub at her home nearly six months ago.

Despite pleading with Brown and Bobbi's aunt, Pat Houston, Gordon was told he was not welcome at the funeral - which is believed to have a Sweet 16 theme.

Bobby, 46, was ushered in a side door to the church with wife Alicia Etheridge-Brown, who gave birth to their second child together, a baby girl just three weeks ago.

However, it was not clear if Dionne Warwick, the cousin of Whitney Houston attended after reports she is furious with Pat Houston for deciding on the 'inappropriate' theme.

Well-wishers were held back by a police cordon and said that they simply wanted to be there for Bobbi Kristina and for Whitney Houston.

Adriane Gregory, 36, traveled 17 hours from Connecticut with her two children and boyfriend to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina. 

She told the Daily Mail Online: 'Whitney was a good singer and I loved her. It's really sad what has happened to her [Bobbi Kristina]. 

'She was still grieving for her mother. It touches your heart. ' 

She added: 'I have followed Whitney my whole life. I have her on my phone right now.'
