Tributes as Joe Biden buries son

Politicians, military leaders and celebrities from across the US have paid farewell to former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, whose death at age 46 opened yet another chapter of grief for his father, vice president Joe Biden.

Calling himself part of the Biden clan, President Barack Obama remembered Beau Biden as a selfless son and consummate public servant in a eulogy delivered at his funeral service.

“He did in 46 years what most of us couldn’t do in 146,” Obama said. “He left nothing in the tank.”
