U.S. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were among the guests at the State Funeral Service for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Thursday. The event was held at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

As Jimmy Carter's funeral commences, former presidents and first ladies are spotted greeting each other prior to taking their seats, except for one pair.

President Joe Biden spoke of his friendship with Jimmy Carter that started in 1974 when Biden was the first sitting Democratic senator to endorse the late president.

The state funeral of former President Jimmy Carter was held at Washington National Cathedral Thursday on what President Biden proclaimed a national day of mourning.

Former presidents, dignitaries, celebrities and other notable figures attended former president Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

Photos at the funeral show President Joe Biden, president-elect Donald Trump and former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama and sitting in two adjacent rows. First ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Jill Biden and Melania Trump were also in attendance.

Thursday's service will cap off six days of remembrance for Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. After the funeral, Carter will return to Georgia to be buried in his hometown of Plains, next to his beloved wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and all living former presidents attended the funeral, including Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Both President-elect Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence also attended, marking the first time the pair were in the same room in four years.

One of the first calls Obama made after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 was to George W. Bush to spread the word that the mission had been accomplished, said Kate Andersen Brower, author of “Team of Five: The Presidents Club in the Age of Trump.”
