Former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W Bush and their spouses attended the ceremony along with current First Lady Melania Trump.
Bush, 41st US president, was born June 12, 1924, in Milton, Massachusetts. He served as command in chief from 1989 to 1993, served as a congressman, CIA director and Ronald Reagan’s vice president.
Bush attended his wife’s funeral wearing socks decorated in blue, read and yellow books — a tribute to her legacy of promoting literacy.
During Friday’s public viewing of Barbara’s casket, he greeted and shook hands with several people who walked through the church to pay their respects.
On Saturday morning, former president Bush also hosted a reception for the visiting dignitaries before the private service.
