June 10-11 – World leaders arrived en masse in Washington, D.C. for the state funeral of Ronald Reagan. On Thursday, dignitaries and just average folks paid their respects at the Capital Rotunda, where the former U.S. president’s casket lay in state. It was cool and misty on Friday morning, when President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, former presidents Bill Clinton, the senior George Bush and Jimmy Carter packed the first rows at the memorial service at the National Cathedral. Along with sadness, many people seemed to be greeting an old friend they hadn't seen for ten years, since Reagan became housebound with Alzheimer's disease.

Immediately following the state funeral, the Reagan family flew to the Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, CA, where the body was laid to rest later the same day. The library is surrounded by 700 acres of wilderness. There were about 800 people at this more “private” service.
