George Floyd's family members honored him Saturday during his second memorial service -- this one in his birth state of North Carolina.
The service was being held in Raeford, NC, and the family has said it will be a much more subdued ceremony than the one held Thursday in Minneapolis.
Still, George's kin delivered rousing speeches -- in tribute to him, and about the movement his tragic death has launched.
The public was allowed into the hall Saturday morning for a viewing of George's casket ... and hundreds of people waited in line to pay their respects.
However, the service itself will be more intimate with just family and close friends allowed inside. It's set to begin at noon PT.
George was born in Fayetteville, NC ... about 30 miles from where the service is being held.
He still has family members living in the area, including his sister, Bridgett Floyd. George's third and final memorial will take place Monday in Houston, where he lived for most of his life.
