Jimmy Carter Buried in Georgia After State Funeral at Washington National Cathedral
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Jimmy Carter's state funeral was held Thursday at the National
Cathedral in Washington, D.C. All five living presidents were in
attendance. President Biden delivered a eulogy.

President Joe Biden: "Throughout his life, he showed us what it means to
be a practitioner of good works and a good and faithful servant of God
and of the people. And today, many think he was from a bygone era. But
in reality, he saw well into the future."

Following the ceremony, Carter's body was returned to his hometown of
Plains, Georgia, so he could be buried next to his wife of 77 years,
Rosalynn Carter. After headlines, we'll continue our look at the
presidency and legacy of Jimmy Carter.
