The Armed Forces Chorus opened the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday at the National Cathedral with the hymn "Be Still My Soul."
In attendance were Carter family members, world leaders and the five living U.S. presidents -- Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The official state funeral in Washington on Thursday caps a long farewell that began — and will end — in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter died Dec. 29 at age 100.
