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. Former US presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush, both of whom McCain had challenged in their races to win the nation's highest office, delivered eulogies during the service at Washington National Cathedral. In doing so, they underscored the respect McCain commanded throughout his life for his service and bravery, from his years as a Vietnam War prisoner of war to his last days battling brain cancer. 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.
