Jimmy Carter's casket arrives at the US Capitol

Jimmy Carter's state funeral has moved to Washington after observances in his native Georgia. The 39th president's remains left the Carter Presidential Center on Tuesday morning and flew to the Washington area aboard Special Air Mission 39. The Carter family and former president arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, with a motorcade following to the U.S. Navy Memorial. Carter's flag-draped casket was transferred to a horse-drawn caisson for his final journey to the Capitol.
