JFK’S FUNERAL WAS ON THIS DAY IN 1963
Three year old “John-John” salutes the passing casket of his father
On the Sunday (Nov. 24th) after the assassination, President Kennedy’s coffin
was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state. During
the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket.
