Jimmy Carter's state funeral was held at the National Cathedral on Thursday and the 39th president's final journey to Georgia has begun. President Biden gave a eulogy at the service, highlighting Carter's character and faith.

A national funeral service was held for former President Jimmy Carter at Washington National Cathedral this morning, marking the conclusion of his state funeral. Remembrance ceremonies included his lying in repose in his home state, Georgia, and later lying in state at the U.S. Capitol.

Carter’s body arrived for a second, more intimate service at Maranatha Baptist Church late Thursday afternoon, a small congregation on the outskirts of Plains, Georgia, where he long taught Sunday school.
