Final preparations at the National Cathedral are complete, security is tight and Washington, DC is now ready for the funeral of President Ronald Reagan. Former staffers from the Reagan administration have regrouped to coordinate tickets for the event, where demand far exceeds the supply.

SOT: Rick Ahern/Former Reagan Staff Member

"We have nowhere near the number of seats in the cathedral to accommodate the number of tickets requested."
Governors from 14 states will attend the ceremonies along with other prominent figures from across America...many who have already paid their respects to Mr. Reagan as he lies in State at the Capitol Rotunda.

SOT: Willies Alfred Coleman/Visitor

"He was mighty a mighty man, a class act."
For days visitors have lined up by the thousands in stifling heat, waiting for hours to file by the flag-draped coffin. Some shed tears, others simply shuffle past in silence. Leaders from around the globe have taken their turn...from Cold War rivals turned allies to the war in Iraq. Not even a changing of the guard interrupts the steady stream of humanity.

SOT: Unnamed Woman: It's a historical moment and it doesn't matter what

political persuasion you are."
At Blair house, where the Reagan family waits, President and Mrs. Bush shared a private moment with former First Lady Nancy Reagan. The President then left to prepare the eulogy he will deliver at today's service. Later this afternoon, bells will ring 40 times at churches across the nation as a final tribute to the passing of America's 40th president.
Suggested BA Close: After the funeral service in Washington, there will be a brief departure ceremony as President Reagan's body is sent back to California for burial. He will be laid to rest at sunset on the grounds of the Presidential Library.
