Former President Jimmy Carter honored at state funeral
WASHINGTON - Former President Jimmy Carter was honored at a state funeral Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral, where President Joe Biden delivered a eulogy. Lawmakers and the public paid their respects to the former president as he lay in state at the US Capitol earlier this week. • Presidents in attendance: President-elect Donald Trump and former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama are in attendance at the state funeral. It’s an exceedingly rare convening, and it will mark the first time all of them have come face to face since the funeral of George H.W. Bush in December 2018. • Carter’s legacy: The 39th president, who died last month in Georgia, was the oldest living former US president and the first to reach 100. He led enduring foreign policy initiatives, including a peace deal between Israel and Egypt, the normalization of relations with China and the treaties that gave Panama control of the Panama Canal from the US.

Jimmy Carter lauded for humility and service in Washington before being laid to rest in Georgia
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jimmy Carter was celebrated Thursday for his personal humility and public service before, during and after his presidency in a funeral at Washington National Cathedral featuring the kind of pageantry the 39th U.S. president typically eschewed. It was followed by an intimate hometown funeral near where he was born a century ago. All of Carter's living successors attended in Washington, with President Joe Biden, who was the first sitting senator to endorse his 1976 run for the White House, eulogizing his longtime friend. Biden and others took turns in the morning praising Carter's record — which many historians have appraised more favorably since he lost his bid for a second term in 1980 — and extolling his character.
