US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made an unexpected and brief visit to pay their respects to late president George H.W. Bush in Washington.
The Trumps made an unannounced visit to the US Capitol’s rotunda, where Bush is lying in state as part of multiple days of services and tributes to honour the 41st US president.
The couple entered the rotunda and held hands as they approached Bush’s coffin draped in the American flag.
Trump saluted Bush’s remains while the first lady pressed her right hand over her heart.
Members of the public also lined up before sunrise to pay their respects as an honour guard stood watch beside Bush's casket in the cavernous Rotunda, open until tomorrow’s funeral.
