George W. Bush will eulogize his father, George H. W. Bush during a state funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral today, a national day of mourning after the death of the 41st President of the United States on December 1.
This moment will mark the first time one president eulogizes another who also happens to be his father.
Also speaking about the former president will be former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, and biographer Jon Meacham reported USA Today. Former senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming, a close friend of the elder Bush, also is expected to speak.
All living United States presidents will be in attendance, including President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump. This will be the first time Trump will join a gathering of ex-presidents and their spouses, which will include Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
