The Last Journey Begins:
After President Reagan's death, the American people had two opportunities to pay their respects in person. From midday on June 7, 2004 until 6pm on June 8, his casket lay in repose at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Almost 120,000 people filed past. The next day, the president's casket was flown to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and driven by motorcade to the Ellipse near the White House in Washington DC, where a horse-drawn caisson brought it to the US Capitol. |
