Only her mother Cissy Houston, daughter Bobbi Kristina and other immediate family and close friends were able to view Whitney's body at the private wake on February 17.

Others in attendance included Dionne Warwick and record executive Clive Davis. They arrived in a gold limousine and Cissy and Bobbi held hands as they walked in. Speaking outside the home, funeral director Caroline Wigham said: “The viewing was done in privacy. It was between a mother, a daughter, two brothers and a family.”
