Former president George Herbert Walker Bush, who died late Friday at the age of 94, will lie in state in Washington DC beginning on Monday, before being buried at his presidential library later in the week, his office announced on Saturday.
The remains of the United States' 41st president is expected to depart Houston on Monday, arriving in the nation's capital for a two-day ceremony. Bush will lie in state from Monday evening until Wednesday morning, which President Donald Trump has designated as a national day of mourning. As such all markets will be closed for trading, and most government functions will be put on hold.
