Oh, hear is the caisson.
MSNBC has stopped talking so we can take in the scene.
Now, Holt sums up for viewers just joining.

Brit Hume just said that the riderless horse will be carrying Reagan's own boots.

Thank God the crowds are huge. I hate the way that fact is being characterized here and there as less than it is.
I pray for those heavily dressed military people in that searing heat.

Back to CSPAN - they're quiet now too.

Neither is MSNBC -- have enjoyed Lester Holt but detest Matthews -- John Palmer has been good too with some of his stories of Pres Reagan.
Crowd applauding!

This Text and Tune is often credited to Henry Carey, 1740, although there is controversy with many votes, including the British monarchy's, for anonymous. On official occasions, only the first verse is usually sung, and occasionally verse 3. The tune has been used by many countries for anthems and hymns. From http://ingeb.org/songs/godsaveo.html
