Jimmy Carter to be honoured at Washington funeral before Georgia hometown burial

Jimmy Carter, who considered himself an outsider even as he sat in the Oval Office as the 39th US president, will be honoured on Thursday with the pageantry of a funeral at Washington National Cathedral before a second service and burial in his tiny Georgia hometown.
President Joe Biden, who was the first sitting senator to endorse Mr Carter’s 1976 presidential campaign, will give the eulogy for his fellow Democrat 11 days before he leaves office.
