McCain laid to rest at US Naval Academy
04 September, 2018
Senator John McCain has been buried at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, after a small private ceremony.
A military flypast was performed with the squadron one plane short, to symbolize the dead senator. McCain graduated from the elite Naval Academy in 1958, later serving in Vietnam as a fighter jet pilot. Family and friends were joined by his classmates and the current midshipmen for a service at the school's chapel.
It caps a week of memorials for McCain, who died on 25 August, aged 81. On Saturday, heavyweights from across the political spectrum gathered at the Washington National Cathedral to remember the Arizona senator.
