Same happened here. I am downright pissed because of it. I'm issuing a call to any Freeper that taped the ceremony (preferably from beginning to end) to PLEASE send me an email.
Off topic: Did/will Jane Wyman attend any of the services? I know that she visited him not long ago. She is very conservative.
Excellent! Thanks so much for finding it and posting it.
I'm pretty sure I read that she was invited Paul.
I saw her on MSNBC's coverage. What a dignified lady she is, and am so glad she could make it in person to say good bye to her good friend. Brian Mulroney also.

Ronald Reagan (news - web sites), the cheerful crusader who devoted his presidency to winning the Cold War, trying to scale back government and making people believe it was ``morning again in America,'' died Saturday, June 5, 2004, after a long twilight struggle with Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites). He was 93. (AP Photo/File)
I miss the 80s!
Apparently FOX news has a slide show up.
Did you see her curtsey to him? Twice! It was STUNNING!
We have been blessed to witness some true giants of history in our time.
I was thinking that tonight when all those guys were coming up to the casket. Ed Meese!
MSNBC was good about that.......except, of course, for snotty Andrea Mitchell. She made some remark about "back when the allies trusted us."
Thanks Indy. That's another good one, along with the text.
I'm fifty-three and on days like this I feel 80.
Me too fella, everything was great with the Gipper at the helm.
The next time someone asks your age, just tell them that you are old enough to remember when MTV played music videos.
"word is that she can no longer speak"
Its OK...her words and actions are still influencing our world. This woman had more...guts, than most men I know. The Union Jack still flies in the Falklands and the Soviets are in the scrapheap of history.
Maggie will live forever.
There are giants and then there are very, very small people.
