The US presidential plane will pick up the body of former President George   
   Bush senior (94), who died on Friday, in Houston and bring him to Washington.   
   President Donald Trump, who flew back on Saturday night with the Boeing 747   
   from the G20 summit in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, calls it "a special   
   tribute."   
       
   From Monday, Bush's body is being laid in state in the Capitol, the seat of   
   the Senate. In the afternoon at 17:00 local time there is a commemoration   
   meeting for senators and members of the House of Representatives. Then   
   citizens can bid their goodbye to the former statesman, who will be buried   
   that day.   
       
   Trump has declared Wednesday to be a day of national mourning. The flags on   
   the White House, on government buildings and army bases will also be at   
   half-mast for 30 days.   
       
   The Boeing 747 is known as 'Air Force One', but carries that call sign only   
   when the president himself is on board.
