President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, and former President Jimmy Carter sit before the funeral service for former US President George H. W. Bush at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC on Dec. 5, 2018.
All five living presidents past and present gathered Wednesday at the National Cathedral in Washington. Only former President George W. Bush, who sat with his family, was not in the pew with the "presidents club."
As expected, their interactions came under the microscope of viewers at home who watched closely for body language and eye contact.
The viral moment also sparked memories of past meetings. Here's a look at other recent times when former presidents and first ladies have been spotted together.
