Singer Dionne Warwick, actress Vanessa Williams and crime writer Walter Mosley were among the stars who attended the funeral at St. Ignatius Loyola on Park Ave.
Horne's granddaughter, actress Jenny Lumet, former New York City Mayor David Dinkins and Rep. John Lewis gave heartfelt
speeches, and Broadway star Audra McDonald sang "Amazing Grace" over the casket.
"With the passing of Lena Horne we have lost yet another of our greatest treasures and, for many of us, a very dear and precious friend," Dinkins said. "And it's very, very hard to say goodbye."
Horne died in Manhattan Sunday at the age of 92.
