Watch: Ariana Grande sings 'A Natural Woman' at Aretha Franklin's funeral

The 'Queen of Soul', Aretha Franklin, was laid to rest at the weekend and some of the music industry's biggest artists showed up to celebrate her life.

The 76-year-old music icon died on August 16 after losing her battle with cancer.

Public open-casket viewings were held in the days leading up to her funeral, which was held at the Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, USA. 

Over 100 pink Cadillacs escorted the singer's hearse to the church - a tribute to her 1985 single, 'Freeway of Love'.

Jennifer Hudson, Faith Hill, and Ariana Grande were just a few of the music stars who performed at Aretha's funeral. 

Ariana received a standing ovation for her rendition of one of Aretha's biggest hits, 'A Natural Woman'. 

The single, which is also known as 'You Make Me Feel', made history last month when it entered the UK single chart after Aretha's death - 51 years after its debut.
