I can't get a sense of how many people are lining the route but the rain is coming down pretty hard now. I can see it in the air as it falls. The view that just past by shows a crowd 6 or 7 deep behind some barriers.
They are saying that they will not be able to follow this procession in the same way they followed the trip in. It's a long distance to the Washington Cathedral. Brit says it's more misting and not a heavy down pour.
