The nation will say goodbye to former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday. Carter's remains will be taken to the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., after lying in state at the Capitol this week.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, will be honored Thursday with the pageantry of a state funeral in the nation's capital, followed by a second service and burial in his tiny Georgia hometown that launched a Depression-era farm boy to the world stage.

The state funeral of former President Jimmy Carter was held at Washington National Cathedral Thursday on what President Biden proclaimed a national day of mourning.
