Former US President George HW Bush to be remembered at Houston funeral

As the media memorializes George H.W. Bush, we look at the lasting impact of his 1991 invasion of Iraq and the propaganda campaign that encouraged it.

Bush kept his composure while delivering the eulogy for his father, former President George H.W. Bush, at his state funeral Wednesday at the Washington National Cathedral - until its final lines.

It's been an emotional time for friends and family of George H.W. Bush.

Asked how their father, former president George W. Bush, has been doing after his father's death, Barbara Bush said: "He's okay".

The group had been friends with Bush since they played at a White House barbecue when Bush was vice president.

After handing his coat over, Trump sat down and shook hand with Barack and Michelle Obama before snubbing the Clintons.

Later on Wednesday, a plane carrying the body of Bush, who died last week in Texas aged 94, landed in Houston where there will be a funeral service on Thursday at St. Martin's Episcopal Church.

"She said the late president's kindness is what the country needs to get back to".

May's Northern Irish allies, the Democratic Unionist Party, which prop up her minority government, went further. The Commons supported a motion demanding full disclosure of the government's legal advice, by 311 votes to 293.


Mulroney hailed Bush for his World War II military service; his handling of the implosion of the Soviet Union; the North American Free Trade Agreement he negotiated, and his "strong" environmental efforts, including a 1991 acid rain treaty with Canada that Mulroney described as a "splendid gift to future generations".

"Let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you", Bush said, breaking down in tears. Lemon said, referring to footage of Trump and the Obamas shaking hands.

On Wednesday, the former president received a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral in the nation's capital, with all five living presidents in attendance.

Trump also shook Michelle Obama's hand and exchanged a greeting.

The congregation at the cathedral, filled with foreign leaders and diplomats, Americans of high office and others touched by Bush's life, rose for the arrival of the casket, accompanied by clergy of faiths from around the world.

Trump closed the federal government on Wednesday to mark a day of mourning for Bush, and several United States financial exchanges were closed.

"I'm just here to pay my respects", said Jane Hernandez, a retired physician in the heavily Democratic city and suburbs. But historians say no previous chief executive has spoken as publicly and as harshly about predecessors as Trump has.

Meacham recounted how comedian Dana Carvey once said that the key to doing a ideal impersonation of the 41st president was "Mr. Rogers trying to be John Wayne".
