They left out McCain... don’t tell anybody
***********************************************************************************
I had read back then from more than one source, that McCain was not allowed an official state funeral—just a lot of pomp and nothing too obvious though. Can’t remember the details now—too long ago. Never knew for sure one way or the other.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!

Oh, fantastic!

How clever and subtle and all those words I love.

I really hope it isn’t Queen Elizabeth for a long, long time

The death of Queen Elizabeth will be the most disruptive event in Britain in the last 70 years

Hmmm....thanks...i guess I really don’t know what constitutes a state funeral so I will stand down for now.

His funeral procession went thru D.C. led\wscorted by Capitol police - I don’t know the route?
He had the funeral at the National Cathedral?
He lay in state in the Capitol rotunda?

looks like all the boxes were checked for a state funeral and he’s mentioned here:
