The state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter was held Thursday in Washington, marking the end of a national week of mourning for the late president.

The nation’s five living presidents came together on Thursday to honor former President Jimmy Carter in a pomp-filled funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral, creating a moment of solemn respite from the capital city’s political tensions and whirl of activity in preparation for a new administration.

Former President Jimmy Carter Carter, who died late last month at 100, was remembered as a compassionate Christian and ahead-of-his-time progressive.
