An Iwo Jima veteran, who was the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, received a final salute as he lay in public in the US Capitol Rotunda.
Hershel “Woody” Williams died last month at the age of 98 and became only the seventh private individual to receive the honour on Thursday, joining the likes of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, the Reverend Billy Graham, and four Capitol police officers.
