Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, will be eulogized at a state funeral Thursday at the National Cathedral and later by private family services and interment in Plains, Georgia.

A motorcade with Carter’s flag-draped casket began at the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, where former Secret Service agents who protected the late president were serving as pallbearers and walking alongside the hearse as it left the medical center’s campus.
