Former President George H.W. Bush is being eulogized Wednesday morning at a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

Those in attendance include President Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Bush is being transported to the cathedral in a procession from the U.S. Capitol, where his casket had lain in state since Monday.

Following the service, the body will be flown to Texas, where Bush will be laid to rest on Thursday at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, alongside his wife, Barbara, and their daughter Robin, who died at age 3.
