Jimmy Carter, who considered himself an outsider even as he sat in the Oval Office as the 39th U.S. president, will be honored Thursday with the pageantry of a funeral at Washington National Cathedral before a second service and burial in his tiny Georgia hometown.

Jimmy Carter's state funeral was held at the National Cathedral on Thursday and the 39th president's final journey to Georgia has begun. President Biden gave a eulogy at the service, highlighting Carter's character and faith.

Mourners have been flowing into the Capitol to pay their respects to former President Jimmy Carter. On Thursday, the site of Carter’s funeral will change from the Rotunda to Washington’s National Cathedral.
