Here's some footage of President Eisenhowers funeral in 1969. As he was the American president his funeral was followed by thousands. The funeral took place in Washington DC.
Titles read: 'SPECIAL!' Entire issue devoted to state funeral of former US President General Dwight 'Ike' Eisenhower in colour.
Washington DC, United States of America.
Montage of shots showing procession of Eisenhower's funeral, the Washington Cathedral where the funeral will be held, coffin inside Capitol Building, views of Washington as we hear US President Richard Nixon quoting Eisenhower on his love for his family and his country. US flags flying at half mast in Washington with Capitol seen in background.
Several shots of the massive military procession making its way through Washington as Eisenhower's coffin is transported to the Capitol to rest in state. Crowds line the route. Six horses pull a cart carrying the coffin, draped in the US Stars and Stripes flag. Military escort accompanies the cortege, followed by man leading horse with empty saddle and boot turned wrong way round in stirrup. A black car moves slowly along - probably containing family.
Eisenhower's widow Mamie enters rotunda of Capitol where officials are waiting for arrival of coffin. Coffin is carried slowly up steps and into the rotunda by military pallbearers. The Shah of Persia in ceremonial dress looks on. Coffin is placed on stand. Nixon family watch. Top shot of ceremony. Sunset over Capitol Building. Crowds outside wait in long lines to file past coffin. Shot of wreath beside coffin.
Shots of Washington Cathedral where funeral will take place. Secretary General to United Nations, U Thant arrives outside the church. Inside we see French President Charles de Gaulle, King Baudoin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, former President Lyndon B Johnson arrive inside the church. President Nixon his wife and daughter arrive outside. The Eisenhower family arrive inside the church. Coffin is carried inside. Interior shots of church. Coffin is carried down aisle.

There is only three in existence and I’m surprised with all of the great men World War II there was not one. But there are three. Do you know who they are? I do.

So, Hitler and Nazism, as soon as they invaded some European countries, they called them the plague and criminals against humanity. As for the two heinous empires, Britain and France, they invaded more than 40% of the world, exterminated and enslaved peoples, occupied their lands, shed their blood, and made them annihilate after their independence in continuous eternal wars like India. The British did not get out of it except after dividing it. And he made her frank permanently and herself in Syria and Algeria when the French were testing chemical and nuclear weapons with them, and what evil are you talking about? The real evil is Britain and France in the same way, and I bow in honor and thanks to the Nazis for what they did to Britain and France, and if they had not done it, we would to this day be under occupation and enslavement between these two empires! And if you were in Hitler's place, you would have done more than twice between these two criminal states!

I wish I could’ve talked to him about that before he passed and just about his time fighting the Nazis.

Interesting you’re pointing to the GOP. Kennedy got us into Vietnam. Johnson expanded Vietnam. Clinton bombed Serbia and Iraq to cover for his affairs. Bush got us into Iraq. Obama bombed something like 30 countries, toppled Libya creating a hell hole, enabled the rise of ISIS. The only President in my lifetime to not start a new war or bombing campaign was from the GOP- Trump.

We used to have GRAND presidents, men you revered and looked up to, who were not just symbols but ICONS of greatness and and the epitomie of America at it's best, men who stood for integrity, honor and service to their country. Many were MILITARY MEN, who had seen the face of war! They knew how precious freedom was and the ultimate price many had paid. Men like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt(FDR), Eisenhower and Kennedy(JFK) were men who were bigger than life and were leaders during some troubled times but who stayed on course and got us through. They were fully worthy of homegoings like this. As I watch this, I wonder what it must have been like at Washington's funeral and that of Lincoln!
