英语文摘:Michael Jackson fans allowed to pay tribute on tomb grounds one year after his death

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Fans of pop singer Michael Jackson are expected to receive limited access to Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale later this month on the first anniversary of his death, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

Under the arrangement expected to be finalized this week, fans of the King of Pop will be allowed to pay their respects on the cemetery grounds but not at the Great Mausoleum, where Jackson's body was interred in September, said Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz.

"We will be working closely with Forest Lawn to ensure the safety of those who want to pay their respects to Michael Jackson while ensuring the safety of others who are coming to the cemetery to pay respects to their loved ones," Lorenz said.

Fans will not be allowed to enter the Great Mausoleum, although discussions are continuing about how close fans will be able to get to the structure,he said.
