On June 11 2004, Ronald Reagan had the largest funeral service since John F Kennedy. Reagan's body was in the Capitol Rotunda for two days. Five thousand visitors per hour walked past his coffin. Reagan's state funeral was the first since 1973. Among those in attendance were President George Bush, Ford, Carter, the elder Bush and Clinton. Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher were in the front row. Reagan's body was buried in California.

John Hinckley Jr was found not guilty of trying to kill Ronald Reagan by reason of insanity. Since then, he has been staying at St Elizabeth's Hospital. In 2013, he was given permission to visit his mother in Williamsburg Virginia. Over time, he may become a totally free man.
