More images after the jump…

Each of the lucky people who got into the Staples Center to witness the Michael Jackson memorial celebration got a nice piece of memorabilia to take home: A commemorative program that is certain to become a collector’s item. (In fact, the programs are already fetching bids over $400 on eBay at press time).

What’s in the program? The gold cover features a photo of Michael with the title “King of Pop: A Celebration of the life of Michael Jackson, 1958-2000.” On the inside, there are a number of written tributes to Michael from family and friends (including a note from his sister Janet credited to “Dunk,” which was Michael’s nickname for her). There are also photos from various points in Michael’s career, including a number of shots of him with celebrity friends and famous admirers (including three U.S. Presidents).
