Set I
Bob Marley's funeral in Jamaica on 21 May 1981 could be compared with one of a king. Hundreds of thousands of people (including the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition) visited the funeral to celebrate the fact that Bob Marley was a real 'Jah Rastafari' after all. After the funeral Bob Marley's body was taken to his birthplace were it rests in a mausoleum.

On May 21, 1981, Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga delivered the final funeral eulogy to Marley, declaring:
"His voice was an omnipresent cry in our electronic world. His sharp features, majestic looks, and prancing style a vivid etching on the landscape of our minds. Bob Marley was never seen. He was an experience which left an indelible imprint with each encounter. Such a man cannot be erased from the mind. He is part of the collective consciousness of the nation."
