Numerous current and former world leaders also gathered to pay their respects, including Prince Charles, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Bahraini Prince Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa and King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.
After the funeral service, Bush’s remains will be flown back to Houston and then transported via funerary train to the grounds of his presidential library at Texas A&M University. Bush will be laid to rest beside Barbara Bush, his wife of 73 years who died earlier this year, and their daughter, Robin, who died of leukemia at the age of 3.
