The nation continues its farewell to John McCain, the 35-year U.S. senator from Arizona and Vietnam hero.
On Saturday, McCain's procession from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington National Cathedral for a formal funeral service will pause by the Vietnam Memorial.
Two former presidents — Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush — will speak at the funeral to be attended by hundreds of dignitaries, but not President Donald Trump, who was disinvited from the service.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge will be one of 15 pallbearers for the service, joining Vice President Joe Biden and actor Warren Beatty.
McCain's body lie in state on Friday at the U.S. Capitol, where thousands of people lined up for blocks to say goodbye to the maverick politician.
CBS News is offering extensive coverage of the McCain funeral on Saturday with a Special Report airing at 9 a.m. and streaming on YouTube below:
