The Armed Forces Chorus, the U.S. Marine Chamber Orchestra and the Cathedral Choir performed the Navy hymn “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” during former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.
In attendance were Carter family members, world leaders and all five living U.S. presidents: Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The official state funeral in Washington on Thursday caps a long farewell that began — and will end — in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter died Dec. 29 at age 100.
