After the church services, Color Guards assembled on Temple Street.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Around the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Downtown Los Angeles, trucks from Cities, Counties, Armed Services, Studios, and Federal fire units parked in a silent roll call on Temple and Main Street during the Friday morning memorial services for LAFD's Brent Lovrien. In a procession, they were driven behind Lovrien's red casket etched with his station number, "LAFD 95." Then thousands of uniformed firefighters honored their brother's life with a salute.

A few additional photos are available in a flickr set.
