The 43rd president, George W. Bush, gave a tear-filled eulogy Wednesday remembering his father, the 41st president — George H.W. Bush. The state funeral took place at the Washington National Cathedral. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump sat in the front pew alongside the three living former presidents and first ladies as Bush detailed his father’ life — both as president and parent.
