State funerals are largely a somber affair, but an interaction between former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on Thursday has taken the internet by storm.
Both former presidents were seated in the second row for the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
Video showed both U.S. leaders arriving for the event where Bush greeted Obama in a way that had the internet screaming 'bromance.'
Obama was the first to enter the shot where he greeted the former vice presidents in the row behind him before taking his seat next to President-elect Trump.
When Bush shows up to enter the row, Obama stands up to let him and former First Lady Laura Bush pass.
That's when Bush gave his successor a friendly tap on the stomach before the couple took their seats to Obama's left.
The playful moment did not go unnoticed by people watching coverage of the gathering of some of the world's current and past most powerful U.S. leaders.

Really don’t want to stand up for him but i did not see GWB greet the clinton’s either
The Mail hates Trump so best to ignore their take on it.
trump and obama enjoyed a laugh together...
The Bush family are globalist scum.
Just like Obama.
He looked toasted.
There were a LOT of fools who made an idol of George W. Bush.
I saw a clip of Trump and Obama talking quite a bit at the funeral.
State funerals are where a lot of political business gets done by folks, as it is informal and the news people aren’t close. So who knows what deal were down today at the Carter Funeral.
They are anything but somber affairs.
Iâm no Bush fan but this was just a âhow you doingâ tap. People reading way too much into it.
W was a slightly better President than algore would have been. Same goes for John Frigg’n Kerry. In both races he was the lesser of two evils...but just barely.
Hard to read too much into a guy who hates Trump, and has been shoving his buddies, the Clintons and Obamas down our throats for years.
Even Slick Willy is looking better. And we know that he has a bad heart.
W was lucky to have the two worst possible Democrats as opponents. Just as Obama was lucky to have to two worst possible Republicans.
hahaha..yeah
True. But he had some charisma. You'll drink a bud light with Dubya.
You're not going to do that with Jeb.
Joe Biden is a far bigger slimeball than Dubya.
Hard to read too much into a guy who hates Trump, and has been shoving his buddies, the Clintons and Obamas down our throats for years.
And the Clinton crime cartel and Xiden.
