Fans of soul legend Aretha Franklin are paying their respects at the public viewing of her open-casket at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan on Tuesday (August 28).

The singer died at the age of 76 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Franklin will lie in repose at the museum for another day-long public viewing today. Her funeral will be held Friday at Greater Grace Temple.
