Former President George H.W. Bush Honored As 'Great And Noble Man' In State Funeral
Former President George H.W. Bush was remembered as "a great and noble man" by his eldest son, former President George W. Bush, at a solemn but joyous state funeral at Washington National Cathedral.
The cathedral bells tolled as the casket containing the 41st president was carried by a military honor guard down the center aisle on Wednesday morning.
Seated together on one side of the aisle were President Trump and former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, along with their wives.
On the other side was the Bush family, including the 43rd president, who as he greeted his fellow former chief executives appeared to slip a piece of candy to Michelle Obama. Bush gave the former first lady a candy during Sen. John McCain's service in September, and the Internet noticed.
George W. Bush said his peripatetic father "was born with just two settings: full throttle, then sleep."
He called him "the best father a son or daughter can have," adding he "showed me what it means to be a president who serves with integrity." - Read More
