Leonard Nimoy's funeral held in LA

"Star Trek" actor Leonard Nimoy has been buried in Los Angeles in a small, private funeral.

After dying at age 83 on Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the man who played the character Spock was laid to rest Sunday, according to BBC News.

Although fans could not attend, they paid their respects in other ways.

A moment of silence was held at the the Long Beach Comic Expo, a two-day comic book convention in California, with many attendees also dressed as Spock. Meanwhile, the actor's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was adorned with flowers, photographs and messages of condolence.
