Thank you for breaking it down for those from RioLinda...some people just can't read! (ninnies) Half the posters on this thread sound like Emily Latilla."Oh, never mind!"
Actually, the ceremony in the rotunda was the State Funeral, as in State: government. The hosts would be the leaders of Congress.
Tuesday is the Church funeral, separate from government, according to our constitution.
It is too bad that the reporters who were on mike for hours yesterday could not make this distinction clear to viewers.
