I watched, for comparison purposes, a bit last night; did you notice how the sailor dropped his corner of the coffin as they approached the set-down spot in the Rotunda?
I watched the LBJ Funeral too and I did not get the impression that Lady Bird was too much in mourning for most of the service. Her eyes were bright and sparkly.

Sorry, I didnt notice, EB...I was only able to catch the program at the church service part. The part I saw, I thought the guys were really struggling with a great weight, but were doing their best. Did you see all those STAIRS??? I was thinking that no matter which generation we're talking about, our troops are the tops, despite what burden they might be carrying!
