Great photos! I was extremely fortunate to witness the cortege today then proceed down Constitution Avenue to the U.S. Capitol and pay my respects in person. Fighter jets roared overhead while we were passing the National Gallery of Art. That many jets flying directly overhead was an incredible sight and sound experience.
Once we made it onto the U.S. Capitol grounds, we walked outside the building up on the portico overlooking the city west toward the Washington Monument. I've never done that at night and it was a beautiful sight.
I can't remember being in the Rotunda at night, either. It is beautifully lit. Everyone of course is focused on the casket and processing so many thoughts and emotions, but I hope they also remember to look up.
Thank you, Mr. President. I'm forever grateful.
Thank you both for the account and pictures. Well done.
