On Saturday in Washington, DC -- where for more than 30 years he represented the state of Arizona and earned a reputation in Congress as a "maverick" -- late United States Senator John McCain was honoured by friends, loved ones, and even onetime political rivals.

Here, touching photos from the service, part of a five-day series of memorial events before McCain's body is laid to rest on Sunday at the US Naval Academy Cemetery.
