WASHINGTON – Former President George W. Bush will deliver the eulogy for his late father, former President George H.W. Bush, on Wednesday.
The official schedule of events commemorating the United States’ 41st president does not list the speakers lined up for ceremonies at the Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday. A source close to the planning confirmed that the speakers will include the 43rd president, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, former Senator Alan Simpson and biographer Jon Meacham.
President Donald Trump, who has clashed with the Bush family, will attend the funeral but is not scheduled to speak.
Bush, 94, died late Friday at his home in Houston after a battle with Vascular Parkinsonism.
On Monday, the flag-draped coffin of the nation’s 41st president arrived in Washington, where he was eulogized in the United State Capitol with members of his family, including George W. Bush, in attendance.
The president and first lady Melania Trump were among those paying their respects at the Capitol on Monday.
Bush will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda through Wednesday morning.
