(3 Dec 2018) The city of Washington DC is getting ready for several days of events surrounding the death of George HW Bush - the 41st president of the United States. Bush's casket will arrive in Washington on Monday afternoon aboard a US military plane. US President Donald Trump ordered the federal government closed on Wednesday for a national day of mourning. Flags on public buildings are flying at half-staff for 30 days, out of respect for Bush. Visitors streamed past memorial wreaths from Armenia and the Russian Federation embassies placed at the World War II Memorial on the National Mall on Monday morning. A black cloth was draped over a portrait of Bush at the National Portrait Gallery.
