No matter where one stands on JFK, that State Funeral appropriately on black and white TV back then was as somber and dramatic (? if that is the right word) as can be. Really something, I don’t know when we’ve had something like that other than with JFK and I believe they say they have a “lone horse” during the funeral march. Quite ceremonial.
Wouldn’t be as memorable on color TV though color was starting to come of age around then.
per my post, “lone horse”, meaning “riderless horse” symbolizing the deceased president, very potent imagery.
