World leaders, family, friends and thousands of mourners who lined up for hours to secure a seat in Johannesburg's FNB stadium paid tribute to South Africa's anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela. Here's a selection of quotes from the speeches at the memorial service and from mourners attending the event:

Mandela family friend Andrew Mlangeni: "He touched my heart, my soul, my life and those of the millions of South Africans. He created hope where there was none."

Family member Thanduxolo Mandela: "To him, life was all about service to others. He mingled with kings, queens and presidents. ... At the core, he was a man of the people."

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "Mr Mandela was more than one of the greatest pillars of our time. He was one of our greatest teachers. He taught by example. He sacrificed so much ... for freedom and equality, for democracy and justice."

US President Barack Obama: "He was not a bust made of marble, he was a man of flesh and blood. It is hard to eulogize any man ... how much harder to do so for a giant of history who moved a nation towards justice."

Former British prime minister Gordon Brown: "His life was just an extraordinary journey, from beginning to end, with such an effect, both on his own country, and on the rest of the world. So, enjoy today, enjoy and celebrate what he achieved. We may not see his like again."

Muhammad Choonara, a 24-year-old university student: "I think Madiba would like us to celebrate and not be sad, to have smiles on our faces."

Matlhogonolo Mothoagae, a 24-year-old marketing student: "I would not have the life I have today if it was not for him. I'm here to show my gratitude to Madiba. He was jailed so we could have our freedom."
