Here are some memorable moments. The 25-year-old pop princess Ariana Grande created a stir on Friday when she appeared early in the program at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. As she began to leave the stage, Ms. Grande was called back by the Bishop Charles H. Ellis, who thanked her and confessed that he was less than familiar with her work. “When I saw Ariana Grande at the program, I thought that was a new something at Taco Bell,” he joked. But he then turned to the crowd members and asked if they had enjoyed the performance of “this icon” (meaning Ms. Grande).
