Delivering a eulogy at the funeral on Wednesday, Bush Jnr said his father’s “last words on earth were, ‘I love you too'”. Mr Bush – the last president to fight in the Second World War – was “the last great-soldier statesman”, historian Jon Meacham said in his eulogy. On a light note, he added that Mr Bush, campaigning in a crowd in a department store, once shook hands with a mannequin. Waiting for his arrival inside, Mr Trump shook hands with Mr Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, who greeted him by saying “Good morning”.
