People paying homage to kennedy
AFP, BOSTON,
Senator Edward kennedy ’s body lay in state in his beloved hometown Boston for the second day Friday, as big crowds kept pouring in to bid a final farewell to the legendary senator.
The flag-draped coffin remained open for public viewing until 2:00am (0600 GMT) after thousands of people lined up for hours outside the John F Kennedy Presidential Library that the man locals knew simply as “Teddy” had built to honour his slain brother.
Within an hour of the line opening to the public on the first of two days of wake Thursday, 12,000 people had come to pay their respects to the liberal “lion of the Senate,” a number that nearly doubled in the late-night hours, Kennedy’s office said.
Young, old, black, white and the handicapped made up the diverse throng, all of them waiting patiently.
