Google goes gray for George HW Bush National Cathedral funeral

Search engine giant Google dulled its homepage logo gray in honor of former President George H.W. Bush's funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral Wednesday.

President Donald Trump declared the day a National Day of Mourning, closing all federal agencies and giving nearly all federal workers across the country the day off from work.

Funeral services for the 41st president will begin at 11 a.m. and broadcast on major networks, plus C-SPAN.

Four men are scheduled to give eulogies for Bush: historian and author Jon Meacham, former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, former Wyoming senator Alan K. Simpson and former President George W. Bush.

All of America's former living presidents, including former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, will be in attendance.
