These photos are not in a particular order. Most of them came from Twitter where the camera attention was almost fully upon the guest side where the presidential lineup was seated rather than on the family side.
Sully said his goodbyes at the Capitol. With the former president since last April when Barbara Bush passed away, he will go on to serve other veterans.

The day belonged to the Bush family, but understandably there were moments. Here is one.
Hillary is doing a great job of using Twitter to let us know how she is thinking about current events.
What’s happening to families at the border right now is a humanitarian crisis. Every parent who has ever held a child in their arms, every human being with a sense of compassion and decency, should be outraged.
Despite what this White House claims, separating families is not mandated by law. That is an outright lie, and it’s incumbent on all of us – journalists and citizens alike – to call it just that.
Those who selectively use the Bible to justify this cruelty are ignoring a central tenet of Christianity. Jesus said "Suffer the little children unto me." He did not say “let the children suffer.”
We should be a better country than one that tears families apart, turns a blind eye to women fleeing domestic violence, and treats frightened children as a means to a political end.
I still believe in the vision we share for our country. We will elect politicians and enact legislation to protect the most vulnerable among us – but first, we have to address the urgent needs of families at the center of this crisis. Give today. Please. https://t.co/VEAP7b5qNo
While the president has falsely claimed that he has no choice on breaking up families because of a law passed by Democrats, Bush laid the blame squarely on the president's policies — namely, the Department of Justice’s "zero tolerance" policy with which it began.
On Friday, Department of Homeland Security officials told reporters that 1,995 children had been separated from their parents over a six-week period, from April 19 to May 31. Read more >>>>
Hillary Clinton on Monday slammed President Trump over his administration’s immigration policies and said he is lying about one that has resulted in the separations of migrant families.
“This is not happening because of the ‘Democrats’ law,’ as the White House has claimed,” she said during remarks in New York.
“Separating families is not mandated by law at all. That is an outright lie," she added. "It’s incumbent on all of us, journalists and citizens alike, to call it just that.”
The funeral for former First Lady Nancy Reagan was held at the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley CA. Rev. Stuart Kenworthy,
Vicar of the National Cathedral, officiated. First Lady Michelle Obama,
Former President George W. Bush, former First Ladies Laura Bush and
Rosalynn Carter attended. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy was there along
with other former First Daughters Lynda Johnson Robb and Tricia Nixon
Cox. I am pretty sure I saw Susan Ford Bales. Nancy Pelosi, Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were there and also Former First Lady,
Senator, Secretary of State, and next President of the United States,
Hillary Clinton.

Former
Canadian PM Brian Mulroney, Former Secretary of State James Baker, Tom
Brokaw, Patti Davis, and Ron Reagan gave stirring and humorous
eulogies. Ron, endearingly, had a little bit of trouble controlling
his emotion near the end of his tribute.
The Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, and the Battle Hymn of the Republic were sung.

The sky opened up and it poured. That is always a good sign and a blessing at a funeral.
Patti
and Ron did a great job. The arrangements were beautiful. Condolences
to the family and best compliments on a beautiful service and memorial
to your mom.
Hillary sat down with Andrea Mitchell prior to the ceremonies.
