Senator Edward Kennedy’s body was taken on the first leg of its final journey, first past landmark after landmark bearing his family’s famous name and then to his murdered brother’s presidential library where mourners lined up by the thousands to bid farewell to him.

EUNICE Kennedy Shriver, the presidential sister who founded the Special Olympics, was celebrated yesterday at a funeral Mass as a fearless warrior for the voiceless who changed the world for millions and an unconventional woman who smoked Cuban cigars and played tackle football.
