The Latest: Woman brings granddaughter to Ali's boyhood home

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Latest on the memorial service for Muhammad Ali (all times local):

10:45 a.m.
The area near Muhammad Ali's boyhood home is crowded as people -- young and old; black, white and Asian -- await the processional carrying Ali's casket.
Debra Brown, who grew up in another part of western Louisville, says she has always admired how Ali has represented the city and wanted to be a part of the events to say goodbye. She said she brought her granddaughter to teach her about his boxing triumphs and his humanitarian causes outside the ring.
"She knows the name now. When she gets older, it will stick in her head. ... When she sees his face, she's going to remember Muhammad Ali."
Brown says she hopes her granddaughter also will heed some of Ali's teachings.
"You can be all that you can be; talk positive about herself."

Heads of nations have contributed to the makeshift memorial growing outside the Muhammad Ali Center.
A wreath of red roses was signed from the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mohammad Nawaz Sharif. A garland of white flowers came from the ambassador of Bangladesh.
Others left prized possessions: a framed copy of a Sports Illustrated with Ali on the cover, a hand-painted canvas of Ali's likeness, framed photos of children with the Champ.

The funeral procession carrying Muhammad Ali's casket through the streets of Louisville has begun.
The 17-car motorcade is expected to take Ali's body on a 19-mile route past his boyhood home, the gym where he first learned to box and the museum that bears his name.
The burial at Cave Hill Cemetary is to be followed by a grand interfaith memorial service in the afternoon.

Brae'lyn Gamble needed a little prodding to recall her family's connection to Muhammad Ali.
Standing with her friend Jennai Carroll, 8, holding homemade posters proclaiming Ali as The Greatest, Gamble was a little shy before relatives reminded her that her great-great aunt lived next door to Ali's childhood home for 30 years before the owner sold it. It's now a museum and gift shop.
Gamble, who traveled from Murray, Kentucky, opened up.
"I'm going to tell people my great-great-aunt lived right next to that pink house," she said, "and Ali was born in Louisville, just like me."
Carroll simply recalled the pink color of Ali's former home and, "I was glad to go to his house."

Attendance for Muhammad Ali's Muslim prayer service was smaller than anticipated.
Kentucky State Fair Board spokeswoman Amanda L. Storment says 6,000 people were scanned in to Freedom Hall and the North Wing, where the service was held. She says 15,000 tickets were given out for the service Thursday.
Storment says "a significant crowd" gathered outside the facility before and during the service but didn't enter the building.
An interfaith memorial service is being held for Ali on Friday in Louisville, following a procession through the city.
