Sen. Edward Kennedy’s funeral procession will stop at the U.S. Capitol tomorrow around 4:30 p.m. and pause briefly in front of the Senate, his family announced Friday.
Kennedy, D-Ma., served 47 years in the chamber and employed hundreds of staffers during that time.
Members of his staff past and present have been invited to pay their respects to Kennedy from the Senate steps.
According to an announcement made by the family, Kennedy’s motorcade will “stop at the Senate steps for a brief prayer so that Senate staff and members of the broader Senate community with whom the Senator worked can bid a final farewell.”
The motorcade will then travel to Arlington National Cemetery, where Kennedy will be buried near his two slain brothers at a private, 5:30 p.m. ceremony.
