Former President George W. Bush remembered his late father, former President George H.W. Bush , as a humble leader, mentor, man of faith, and the best father a son or daughter could have in a touching eulogy at Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday.

Speaking at a ceremony attended by President Donald Trump and his wife, all former living U.S. presidents and first ladies, and an array of world leaders, the eldest Bush son spoke proudly and candidly of his father, who died on Friday at the age of 94 in Houston.

When the history books are written, they will say that George H.W. Bush was a great president of the United States: a diplomat of unmatched skill, a commander-in-chief of formidable accomplishment, and a gentleman who executed the duties of his office with dignity and honor, he said.
