Jimmy Carter, who considered himself an outsider even as he sat in the Oval Office as the 39th U.S. president, will be honored Thursday with the pageantry of a funeral at Washington National Cathedral before a second service and burial in his tiny Georgia hometown.

Late President Jimmy Carter's State Funeral ends Thursday in Washington, D.C., and Georgia, according to the United States Capitol Police.

Carter’s long public goodbye began Saturday in the state where the 39th U.S. president was born, lived and died.
