the workers in the field stopped their work, stood solemnly along the side of the road, took off their hats and put them over their hearts as a silent tribute to President Reagan...

More little detail facts:

-Military music:

Each stage of the funeral is attended by music from a military band. Aside from hymns, traditional selections include "Hail to the Chief," graveside "Taps" and "Ruffles and Flourishes."

The ruffle on drums and the flourish on bugles are sounded together, up to four times depending on the prominence of the deceased. Reagan, as all presidents, will get four ruffles and flourishes.

Remind me later and I'll find that picture for you.

Oh wow

The crowd applauds as the casket comes into view and Nancy walks up.

Oh, my...bless those fine people. They are calling out "We love you Mrs Reagan".

She nods and gracefully acknowledges.

My daughter and her friend burst into applause with the crowd!
