The state funeral of former President Jimmy Carter was held at Washington National Cathedral Thursday on what President Biden proclaimed a national day of mourning.
The Navy will name two future Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers for former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, former presidents and other dignitaries came together Thursday to honor the life of former President Jimmy Carter at a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
A state funeral is a gathering of the Washington clans, a convocation of the very establishment that Trump has pledged to destroy in his second term. Carter was not a clubbable man and his self-conscious piety was sometimes an irritant for his successors. He was the uneasiest member of the ex-president’s club apart from Trump.
The president-elect sat in the row directly ahead of Mike Pence, who was once the target of a violent mob bent on keeping Trump in power.
Thursday's services capped six days of remembrance for Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. Following the honors in Washington, it was his wish to be buried in his hometown of Plains, next to his beloved wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.
