Doves for L.O.V.E -- the group who organized the dove release -- broke the rules today by releasing an impressive amount of birds at the cemetery ... as shouts of "We love you, Michael!" rang out through the crowd.

Doves, usually white in color, are used in a variety of settings as symbols of love, peace or as messengers. Doves appear in the symbology of Judaism and Christianity and of both military and pacifist groups.
Peace symbol
White doves, usually meaning domesticated Rock Pigeons, are a traditional Christian and Jewish symbol of love and peace.
Noah's Ark
According to the biblical story, a dove was released by Noah after the flood in order to find land; it came back carrying an olive branch in its beak, telling Noah that, somewhere, there was land. A dove with an olive branch has since then come to symbolize peace.
Peace and pacifism in politics
Doves are often associated with the concept of peace and pacifism. They often appear in political cartoons, on banners and signs at events promoting peace (such as the Olympic Games, at various anti-war/anti-violence protests, etc.), and in pacifist literature. A person who is a pacifist is sometimes referred to as a dove (similarly, in American politics, a person who advocates the use of military resources as opposed to diplomacy can be referred to as a hawk).
