Jermaine Jackson has performed his late brother Michael's favourite song in tribute to him at his memorial show in Los Angeles.

Brooke Shields had told the audience at the Staples Centre farewell show of Michael's fondness for 'Smile', composed by Charlie Chaplin for the 1936 movie Modern Times.

Sheilds said: "Today, though our hearts are aching, we need to look up and we need to smile."

Jermaine then took to the stage and performed the song while wearing a white sequinned glove in honour of his sibling.
