Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday, Dec. 29, at 100 years old. His death came just over a year after the passing of his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter.
Carter’s ceremonial arrival at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda came after the start of six days of funeral ceremonies that began Saturday morning in the 39th president's hometown of Plains, Georgia.
