State funeral for Reagan

Reagan, a former Hollywood matinee idol who became one of the dominant figures of the late 20th century, will receive the first full state funeral in Washington since Lyndon Johnson died 31 years ago.

He will then be buried in a private sunset ceremony on a hilltop at his presidential library in California.

A spokeswoman announced the funeral arrangements a day after the charismatic former Republican president died at the age of 93 after a decade-long struggle with Alzheimer's disease.

"Mrs. Reagan and her family are deeply touched by the outpouring of sympathy from across the country and around the world," family spokeswoman Joanne Drake said.
