Muhammad Ali's brother Rahaman weeps and sings along to hymns during emotional memorial service

He wiped a tear as he was surrounded by mourners at the church where his father mourned. Sometimes the heavyweight champion would join him in the pews 

Muhammad Ali's younger brother Rahaman wept as he was surrounded by mourners at a memorial service for the late boxing legend.

Rahaman Ali broke down in tears before he clapped and swayed to hymns and hugged members of King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church in Louisville's west end. The church features a painting by Ali's father, Cassius Clay Sr

Ali's younger brother put his hand to his face, overcome with emotion, as members of the King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church in Louisville's west end paid tribute to the heavyweight champion who died on Friday night at the age of 74. 

He also clapped and swayed to hymns as the boxer's hometown began to mark his passing.  The church features a painting by Ali's father, Cassius Clay Sr., and isn't far from the pink house where the boxing champion grew up. 

During the two-hour service, assistant pastor Charles Elliott III asked the congregation to stand to honor Muhammad Ali. In his tribute, Elliott said 'there is no great man that has done more for this city than Muhammad Ali.'
