"Like Beyonce with the mustache," was how Acting Mayor London Breed remembered the rockstar treatment Mayor Ed Lee received on a trip the two shared to Shanghai.

A who's who of San Francisco and California politics spoke at Lee's memorial service yesterday at City Hall, from Sen. Dianne Feinstein and U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to Gov. Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Former Mayor Willie Brown said the last "terrible" joke Lee told him was that, “we we should see if we can get Alcatraz back operational,” for President Trump.
