Final goodbye to Ronald Reagan capped by Washington service
The nation bid a final farewell to Ronald Reagan with a Washington National Cathedral service and a California hilltop burial. Nancy Reagan accompanied the flag-draped casket as a 25 mile motorcade escorted the hearse from the airport to the Reagan Library. Ron Reagan called his father home and free as world leaders and friends saluted the 40th president. Bush praised Reagan as belonging to the ages while noting he remained ours. The cathedral rang with bells and music as tributes lauded his bold strokes and devotion to family.
