A memorial service for the late President George H.W. Bush is set to be held Wednesday at the Washington National Cathedral.

The 41st president, who died Friday at age 94, has been honored in Washington, D.C., all this week. Bush's body laid in state in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol building beginning Monday evening; it will be transported to the cathedral early Wednesday for the service that morning.

Bush, who served a single four-year presidential term after winning his 1988 election against Democrat Michael Dukakis, was the father of George W. Bush, the 43rd president.

The senior Bush's death brought forth an outpouring of bipartisan reverence for the late president. Media figures, lawmakers and former friends and associates of Bush paid their respects — including President Donald Trump, who shared little in common with the former president in terms of ideology or mannerisms.
