David Hockney laid to rest in private ceremony as global memorials loom

David Hockney, Britain's best-known artist, died at 88 in London. His funeral was held privately with only his partner and his great-nephew in attendance. Memorial services are planned next year in London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Yorkshire, with most of his works to be donated to foundations and public institutions.

Capitol Denies Jesse Jackson’s Rotunda Lie-in-Honor Request

Capitol Denies Jesse Jackson’s Rotunda Lie-in-Honor Request

House Speaker Mike Johnson denied Rev. Jesse Jackson’s request to lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, citing a precedent that the Rotunda is typically reserved for presidents, the military and select officials. Jackson, who died at 84, had been offered a Capitol tribute, while memorial services are planned in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and South Carolina. The case follows a pattern in which private citizens have rarely been honored at the Capitol, with past examples including Rosa Parks and Billy Graham.
