This has to be one of the most tear-jerking things I've seen ever.

This clip is from the end of Jim Henson's memorial service. The main voice actors have been singing Jim Henson's favourite songs in their characters' voices. If you're impatient, the real heart-render beings around the 5:00 mark.

If that didn't break your heart. Big Bird sang a solo part:

Chris, I know you're as choked up as I am right now.

Heart wrenching... A truly great tribute to a hero and a legend :-) I Know that for my part, the world is a less magical place without him in it.

Kermit is extremely conspicuos by his absence.

Chris: Apparently, at the funeral service he was sitting sullenly upon the coffin with a sign around his neck, "Sorry, I've lost my voice."
