WATCH LIVE: The memorial service honoring Senator John McCain

Annette Elizabeth Allen for NPR

The late Sen. John McCain will be honored at an expansive ceremony at Washington's National Cathedral on Saturday.

Former President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush will give remarks, along with McCain's longtime friend Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and several others.

Three of McCain's children will give readings, and Renee Fleming (who grew up in Churchville and is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music) will perform "Danny Boy" at the late senator's request.
