Former President George W. Bush thanked supporters in Navasota, Texas, Thursday for making former President George H. W. Bushs “last ride so special.”
“Thank you for making 41s last ride so special,” Bush, the 43rd president, captioned his post on Instagram, showing the back of his head as he looked out a rain-soaked window from onboard the Union Pacific train.
The train was carrying the casket of Bush, 41, to his final resting place at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. (RELATED: Heres A Look Back At George H.W. Bushs Life In Pictures)
Out the window, Bush, 43, waved at all the people along the train route, who had come out to pay their final respects and say goodbye to the 41st president, standing under umbrellas and carrying American flags.
