All living former U.S. presidents and President Joe Biden gathered at the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday morning for the state funeral of the late President Jimmy Carter, who died last week at 100 years old.

Carter’s family, members of Congress, and former members of Carter’s administration are also in attendance, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, while Supreme Court Justices and foreign leaders were invited to the service. 

The funeral comes after the late former president laid in state at the Capitol rotunda on Tuesday and Wednesday, where members of the public were invited to pay their respects to Carter. 

The late president, who was born in Plains, Georgia, lived an exemplary life of public service. Carter, a peanut farmer, served as the country’s 39th president from 1977 to 1981. He also served as the governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.

Biden is expected to deliver the eulogy at the service, which will also feature testimony from Carter’s family, including his grandchildren. The sons of the late former President Gerald Ford, and Carter’s Vice President Walter Mondale will read tributes from their fathers.

Presiding Bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church Sean Rowe, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington Mariann Budde, and Dean of the Washington National Cathedral Randolph Marshall Hollerith are scheduled to participate in the religious component of the ceremony. 

Rev. Andrew Young, who served as Carter’s ambassador to the United Nations, is expected to give the homily. 

The full program for Thursday’s service is available here.
