The 46th vice president of the United States of America, the late Richard Bruce Cheney, was honored with a funeral in Washington on Nov. 20 after dying on Nov. 3 at the age of 84.
Many dignitaries attended the funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, a site frequently used for state funerals of former presidents, although Cheney’s was not a state funeral. In attendance were former U.S. Presidents Joe Biden and George W. Bush, the latter under whom Cheney served as vice president for eight years from 2001 to 2009. In addition to Biden, who succeeded Cheney as vice president in 2009, former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle attended.
