While some former leaders including John F. Kennedy (left) and Ronald Reagan (right, with George H.W. Bush)  were honoured with a state ceremony in Washington in a process steeped in tradition, others families have chosen to eschew the pomp and ceremony of the event

While Bush's body will likely lie in state in the US capitol, he will be buried alongside his beloved wife, who died in April this year, aged 92 

Traditionally five days in length, presidential state funerals are meticulously choreographed and involve a large amount of protocol. 

Kennedy’s funeral in November 1963 was modelled after Abraham Lincoln’s, as requested by his wife Jacqueline Kennedy in her first public statement after her husband’s assassination. 

The rich tradition of US state funerals 

Traditionally five days long, the ceremony involves a funeral procession in in the state capitol, while a presidential proclamation will be issued allowing for the flag outside of the White House, and all other governmental buildings, to be flown at half-mast. 

On the day of interment for a president, a 21-gun salute traditionally is fired starting at noon at all military installations. 

State leaders from around the world are invited to the service and burial, while there is the option for a funeral procession down Pennsylvania Avenue. 

Eight presidents have opted for this including the four who were assassinated in office.  

Richard Nixon's wishes were to hold a simple service at the Nixon Library in California, after which he was buried alongside his late wife Patricia. 

Coordination for the events is conducted by the army’s Military District of Washington and former presidents will have given some indication toward their preference while in office and following their administration.  

While Bush's body will likely lie in state in the US capitol, he will be buried alongside his beloved wife, who died in April this year, aged 92.

That will be at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Texas. Barbara's grave was opened to visitors three weeks after her burial, prompting visitors from all over the country to pay their final respects.

For nearly 80 years, the couple had been side-by-side, supporting one another through good times, and bad, facing spectacular triumphs and heartbreaking sadness together.

'Still in love with the man I married 72 years ago,' Barbara said of her incredible relationship with George \shortly before she passed away at their home in Houston on April 14.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
