Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, will be eulogized at a state funeral Thursday at the National Cathedral and later by private family services and interment in Plains, Georgia.

The state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter has begun with services in Washington, D.C. and his hometown of Plains, Georgia. The ceremonies celebrating Carter in D.C. will include a departure ceremony at the Capitol, the National Funeral Service at Washington National Cathedral and a final departure from Joint Base Andrews.

The United States Capitol is now the focal point for former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral. The public will be allowed to pay their respects in person Tuesday night. FOX 5’s Tom Fitzgerald is on the Hill tonight after speaking with some of the people who’ve gone down to the Capitol to be part of this.
