(30 Aug 2018) Military members have carried the casket of Sen. John McCain out of a Phoenix church to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "My Way."
The longtime Arizona senator's wife and children followed the casket out of the church at the end of a memorial service Thursday where former Vice President Joe Biden, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and others told personal stories.
The casket has been loaded into a hearse in a motorcade that will head to the Phoenix airport for his final flight from Arizona to Washington, D.C., for several events.
Thursday's memorial service was attended by about 3,500 people at North Phoenix Baptist Church.
An Air Force C-32 transport will carry McCain and his family to Joint Base Andrews for a public viewing Friday at the U.S. Capitol, a service Saturday at Washington National Cathedral and burial Sunday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
McCain died Saturday from brain cancer at age 81.
