Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were among a host of Hollywood stars who
gathered to remember the late Heath Ledger on Saturday.

The married couple joined the actor's father Kim to pay tribute to the
tragic 28-year-old star - who was found dead in his New York apartment on
January 22 - at a memorial ceremony held at noon at California's Sony Lot,
in Culver City.

Other mourners included Heath's 'Casanova' co-star Sienna Miller, TV chat
show host Ellen DeGeneres and Shannyn Sossamon, who starred with Heath in 'A
Knight's Tale'.

A number of industry luminaries, as well as those connected to Heath's
talent agency CAA, also attended.

The service reportedly featured several speeches, including one by filmmaker
Todd Haynes, who directed Heath in the Bob Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There'.

Last week, Heath's relatives and close friends, including his ex-girlfriend
Naomi Watts, remembered the actor with a smaller service in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Heath's ex-lover Michelle Williams has broken her silence over
his death.

The 27-year-old actress released a statement saying Heath would live on
through their two-year-old daughter Matilda.

Michelle - who met Heath on the set of 'Brokeback Mountain' - said: "Please
respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of
the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the
spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside
her that reveals itself every day.

"His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and
takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be
brought up in the best memories of him."

Ledger's body is expected to be buried in his hometown of Perth, in Western
Australia.
