Jan 9 (CNN/GNA) – Family and even some world leaders will gather on Thursday for the National Funeral Service for former President Jimmy Carter.
It will take place at the Washington National Cathedral at 10 a.m. ET. (1500 hours GMT)
Biden will deliver a eulogy, a White House official said previously, a marquee moment for the Democrat to pay tribute to his longtime friend in the waning days of his own presidency. And President-elect Donald Trump told reporters that he plans to attend the service.
After the service, Carter will be transported back to his beloved hometown of Plains, Georgia, for a private internment at the family residence that evening. The public is invited to line the motorcade route as Carter and his family travel through Plains to the late president’s final resting place.
