The body of the president was brought back to Washington, D.C. and placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours. On the Sunday November 24, his casket was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state. Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket. Representatives from over 90 countries attended the state funeral on Monday, November 25. After the Requiem Mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral, the late president was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.

The only US president to ever have a foreign military at his funeral. Jackie personally requested the Irish military to attend, she knew how much he loved Ireland and would have wanted it.
JFK loved Irish terrorists?
@@onglol33219 bruh tf, ??
*_As an Irish woman, I didn't know that John F Kennedy liked Ireland so much, that warms my heart. And I may be extremely late, rest in peace, JFK._*

Are the Black watch not a Scots regiment ,I just watched them play 9 days before Dallas on the WH lawn,the first lady was so touched by them she asked them to return 22 days later.
@@LeggieGlasgow The Irish cadets from the Irish Defense Forces marched as well
I'm a Canadian of Montreal and we Canadians were just as shocked by this. My dads company was shut down and he came home early that day. Our schools were closed, universities, kindergartens, stores, banks, bars, and our flag was at half mast everywhere! Believe me, we felt it too! 🇱🇷🇨🇦🙏
Wow, That completely blows me away!! Even though I know Canada is a close ally of ours, I wouldn’t have thought that it was still as deeply felt. God Bless you and all of our wonderful Canadian friends!! ❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸
You are our neighbors to the north cousin. ❤

I was 9 years old when all of this happened. I watched it all on TV. I'm 68 years old, now and I still remember that entire weekend and the funeral on Monday. For folks in my age group, it's something you don't ever forget.
I was also 9 years old when this happened. I remember my teachers at school crying after they heard. I also remember watching this on tv. Very sad
me too !
We will be the the only group left that can remember it soon.
We were just kids.
Most of the adults back then are gone.
I was 9, too. I turned 10 the day after he was buried. Watching this now, I am remembering it...I watched all that weekend. The tears are falling, as this brings back all the sorrow and shock.
I had just turned 8 years old on the 21st , the day before he was shot. I remember that day like it was yesterday.😪
Still remembering him 60 years later in 2023 NEVER FORGET!
I am 81 now, but I remember it so clearly. My heart was broken. We had been blessed to have such a president.
God Our Father....knows what's best....good people don't live long... because He loves and is jealous of their goodness....that He calls them back to His Home

Such is not correct thinking, but is the kind of thing that people say to deal with their sorrow.
people across the globe still crying except the venomous snakes lbj and its underlings.
I'm perplexed why:
1. JFK trusted toxic animal lbj
2. Why JFK didn't bring his honest ss's or body guards like Clint Hill came along with him standing on the bumpers around him as protocol like other Presidents or VIPS
3.Why nobody warned him against
a plot or conspiracy
4.why no one didn't obstruct the driver, s.o.b greer's behavior of stopping the limo and turned to different route from designed
5.why millions of relevant documents
made public immediately as per the law but still kept in national archive up to now (59 yrs)
6.Why President Trump didn't keep his promise to released all the documents . His answer was " I's asked by cia not to released them that made us sure of cia involved in JFK assassination.
@@nomadicgringo9312 The CIA was involved. President Kennedy had an inkling that an attempt might be made on him, but he had no fear.
I'm glad this was filmed in color to preserve history.
To the best of my knowledge and from seeing other clips on YT, I believe all or almost all live showings on the day of the funeral were B&W so if this was colored afterwards or a private recording that’s original color, a damn good job was done either way.
As I recall, NBC (which I think was the first channel to use color) filmed it both in black and white and color. So we have the color version too.
In B&W .....all would have been lost.
I can still see my teacher standing in the doorway with tears streaming down her face. Even in grade school we all mourned. Still remember President Kennedys funeral as though it was yesterday.
They announced his death over the public address system at my grade school, I was in the 3rd grade. Our teacher wept in front of all of us. When I hear Don Henley's song "The End Of The Innocence" playing over the speakers at the grocery store, I almost break into tears thinking about November 22nd 1963.
I remembered my teacher cussing twice..
Once in hearing this news..
Another time was at me.
Watching this reminds me of when Liberace was buried.
I was 11 1/2 years old. There are no words to to describe the depth of our national grief. I turn 70 in 2022 and still feel the sting of of tears as I watch this video from 58 years ago. The sense of loss.
The loss of what could be...
@@markmeenaghan934 Yes. Exactly.
I agree you can see the grief on our military faces even though they have to be stoic.
My tears flow freely when I remember those awful days. I am 74 now and my heart breaks for our nation. I was 16 when this happened. When I got home from school in NYC, I couldn’t understand why I saw so many people in the streets openly crying. The shock was beyond words. I got to shake Robert Kennedy’s hand when he came to our bus stop in NYC. He was running for office. THEN.......HE WAS MURDERED.
In Arizona, Tucson, when Kennedy was shot, ALL the military jets at Davis Monthan Airbase took off. Since my dad (who worked with Kennedy!!!) said, if all the jets take off, it means WWIII so I panicked and ran out of my school, hopped on my bike and began pedaling for home! I then saw people stop their cars and were crying while listening to the radio so I stopped and listened and then was even more scared that Kennedy had been killed.
My dad advised Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he knew Eisenhower and worked with him during WWII, so my dad was totally frightened about this assassination, worried there were more assassins. It was a frightening time for all of us.
I was 1mo. into being a 'teen-ager' @13. Great New Age ended not only for myself.
The teenage girl sitting in the desk in front of me, burst into loud crying as though it had been her own father; when the principle nun came into the class room and announced...
I don't remember what was said exactly or anything else..
all is a blank; untill seeing the riderless stallion on TV!😥
I fully understand you.. I am now your age. I was then in Argentina.. The sorrow was immense in our country..
@@teodoradamis6542 All I remember about that fateful Friday is that I was four
and they didn"t show cartoons on Saturday.
When your'e four you don't care that the POTUS was killed!!
You were more upset that they didn't show Mighty Mouse;Heckle and Jeckle;Top Cat and Tom and Jerry.
@@emsnewssupkis6453 If I might ask...just who the HELL was your Father??! 😲
I was 15 the day JFK was murdered I stayed home from school and was watching TV and I was very shocked, now I am 68 and after 53 years this still makes me sad :(.
To this day, his horrible death still breaks my heart... still shed so many tears... then Bobby's death... and the terrible death of his son John Jr.... truly truly sad.
hockeylife 709 I wasn't born yet but I'm currently 15 years old and in my government class we have been talking about JFK and his legacy it's such a shame that the presidents can no longer interact with the people I believe he was the last good president that we've had I feel like we have dug ourself in to a deep deep hole and we can't get out. Hopefully we can elect a strong and amazing president like Kennedy to bring the US back together and make us United again. I don't think I've cried so much in a weekend. He left such young children and a beautiful amazing wife. I hope they are together in heaven
hockeylife 709 Me Too Brother....
Ditto, I was 13 years old on this day and remember it vividly.
I'm 37 only, but it's like it's just happened and feel deep grief on him and on his poor wife .. He would be a life if he wasn't one of the greatest us president, and if he didn't care for the best of his country and for the humanity and peace in general! RIP
There will never be another jack Kennedy. He was a gift from God.
Very kind of you
Literally could only get jack shit done in Congress
Very kind thing to say.
John F. Kennedy will always be remembered as a wonderful president.
How ? …… he was running around on his wife with other women like Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe) and a bunch of other hoes ! AGAIN how was JFK so dammed great …. HOW ?
It still hurts. How his wife stood those 3 days l will never know. She did it for him and our country. God rest the souls of John and Jackie Kennedy.
Kathryn Bellerose Jackie was a strong woman. Even if she knew that JFK had many affairs, she was still loyal and loving to him.
@@jaimesilva4483 agree a most courageous woman
Stood by her man
I was 16 a sophomore in public high school. I remember Exactly where I was, together with about 50 to 60 others in our class.
I'm 72. I remember the details of those 4 days "like they happened last week".
Mrs. Kennedy Had To Show Her Great Strength for the sake of their children, Caroline and John, Jr.
She showed her strength, for our nation, when someone suggested she should change clothes. Mrs. Kennedy Refused, stating something such as, '... I want them to see what they did ...'
We may never find-out who "them" and "they" are, but Mrs. Kennedy Definitely Proved she had Phenominal Strength to Everyone on the Great Stage of "being in the limelight/spotlight" of The Public.
May All The Kennedys, their widows, spouses, children and grandchildren rest In Heavenly And Eternal
peace.

She took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hand. A beautiful poem.
When?
@@Will-The4th right at the beginning
@@Will-The4th During a ceremony in the Rotunda Senator Mike Mansfield read a poem " She Took A Ring From Her Finger and Placed it in His Hands" and then made a few remarks. I don't know if that is the exact title. It's a very thought provoking poem. I tried to find out if Mansfield wrote it himself or someone else. I suppose he wrote it. At the hospital Jackie replaced her ring with Kennedy's and she kept his.
I think Mike Mansfield did write it. He delivered it in the Cap Rotunda, as did Earl Warren his eulogy.
I don't think it was a poem so much as a sort of "refrain" which Senator Mansfield repeated at the end of each of the first paragraphs of his eulogy.
As I watched this, I remember it like it was yesterday, except I am an old man and not a child. Some things are never forgotten.
The day Kennedy was shot, I was sitting in class taking a history test. I had not studied for it, so I put my ear plug in my ear and turned on my little radio I had in my shirt to my favorite DJ station. Then they broke in and yelled the President had been shot. I yelled it out to everyone in the room. The teacher came running, I took it out and we all listened. Mr. Trammels class 1963
Wow that must have been horrifying !
What a great loss for all humanity :( .
Wow Wee!
That must be really horrifying.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow!
I was 16 when Kennedy was killed. Jackie became our overnight savior when she taught all the world to behave in the face of incalculable grief and shock. Her majestic presence made us all a better people. Things like this never happened to us before and only when the Beatles arrived in February did we learn to slowly smile again. Jackie went on to become the most famous woman of the Twentieth century and maybe in all of history. I still cry when I think of that Friday when I left school for a dental appointment and the dentist and I sat and cried when we heard that he had indeed died. It seemed like yesterday, and like yesterday those of us privileged to be there when he was president still suffer from the horror that changed America. And it hasn't ever been right again.
I feel sorry for you madam... and for all of us.
@@asoru5573 Yes, for all of us. When America was taken over by the evil men who commited the atrocity the world all came under their power and still remains there.
And after Friday's shooting shock, Jackie undertook to plan the enormous funeral, a gigantic project.
@@raoulbataller5454 Yes. She told her advisors that she wanted the funeral to resemble Lincoln's complete with catafalque. Her brother in law Sargent Shriver, Bobby Kennedy and oters pored over historical records on the Lincoln funeral and made it as close as possible to Lincoln's.
What ever happened to America ever since that crazy year of 1963.
72 hours earlier he was cruising around Dallas in the sunshine, he'd never imagine his funeral would be just 3 days later.
Imagine having a time machine on the 21st and you go to a week later to the fact there’s a new president. You just await how
It might have to be the fact he is of irish decent. We have funerals close to death here
But it HAD to be three days later; any earlier, the logistics would have been impossible, any later, decomposition sets in.
Kennedy is laughing who's president now form heaven.
@@ownSystem actually, I think he would be sad to watch this?.....There never would be another JFK.
Never forget... 60 Years ago today, Rest in eternal power Mr. Kennedy.
November 22, 1963. America was never the same after that and has still not recovered.
jfk's death really set this country on a different path and not so good, huh?
I'm 65 now and fully agree
JFK’s death really set this country on a different path and it’s not so good.
that is true
Never will recover.
I was in school in 1963......They sent us home early and as a 8 year old kid as well as a nation we were scarred. The poem read by Senator Mike Mansfield didn't mean as much that day as it does as you get older. The country changed radically in November 1963.......And we have been on a spiral downwards ever since........I miss my country the way that it was. It is sad to see what it has become. God please forgive us and bless the United States.
You will never be forgiven for the atrocities you people bestowed upon our people, and the curse will never be lifted.. You are vile and your own greed and stupidity was and is your undoing... 👺👺💀💀
You mean the downward spiral of equal rights and improved standards of living?
Great president
@@lhaviland8602 What else? Then again I have to go along with the deepest thoughts with Mr. Kennedy and all us white people: why those other people even exist?
I will always love and miss President Kennedy because I was few months old when his wife died.
I was born and raised in Texas USA. Abilene is where I was born and Baird is my hometown. I’m still a country gal. But love the USA 🇺🇸.
The way Caroline hangs on to her mother and little John looks around confused is enough to break anyone’s heart.
Ikr I wish JFK was still alive and it’s not fair for a child and a girl to have to go through this , JFK jr didn’t see his dad at birthdays and more, he missed out so much and that’s crazy, if my dad died as president but on purpose I wouldn’t even show up at his funeral it would affect so severely
John F Kennedy not enough breaking our hearts
have you ever lost someone to illness or murder?
@@friendlysky7674 he was probably too young to realise what was going on.
@@tommas2674 my father suffers a mental illness. It takes it’s toll.
It really hits me seeing the Irish guard standing by the grave. A son of Ireland to the last moment of his earthly life.
Just noticed something else too, it's O Donnell Abu that is being struck out on the drums at the beginning....
Why do Americans fixate on their heritage even if they weren’t born there? Like they’ll say I’m Irish or I’m Italian?
@@westaussie965 i get you there. JFK's Irish heritage was extremely deep, and perfectly acceptable in my opinion.
@Austin Andre He visited Ireland as President. My father drove us to see him in at the childhood home of one of his 2 Irish grandfathers. Seeing him in the flesh and shaking his hand was so exciting for me. Hearing the news of his shooting was just awful. We sat close to the radio, waiting for news. When his death was announced, we all cried. All businesses and schools in Ireland closed on the day of his funeral. It was the saddest day of my young life. For Irish people, it felt like we had lost a beloved family member. The assassination of his brother Bobby brought the pain back. We were certain he would become the next US President.
@@westaussie965 what are you , without your ancient lineage....
Thanks for posting. Remember his words, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."
Dear Captain 1985: in addition to these famous words, Americans should NEVER forget these immortal words that were also spoken by JFK in his presidential inaugural address on Friday, January 20, 1961:
"If a free society cannot help its poor, it cannot save the few who are very rich"
If he had been more honest, he would have said, "Ask not what I can do for your country,; ask what Marilyn Monroe can do for ME."
It was the end of the age of innocence.
Words that really need to be resurrected.
@@cynic2all you completely missed the point

We will never have another President like John F. Kennedy ever again .This was a sad day for us all .R.I.P John F. Kennedy

So true. Everything changed drastically for the worse when JFK died. By the end of the sixties the country was not even recognizable to when he was in office. God forbid another President is assassinated,but if one is it will never ever have the global meaning as it is so partisan now,and we have had several Presidents that have made a mockery of the office including the current one that it couldn't have the same effect.
I remember this tragic event like it was yesterday. In two months I was 13, now I'm 69 O.M.G. Sometimes I still think about that Friday and the weekend, and Monday for the funeral.
@@vernpascal1531 crybaby......
The last president like Kennedy is Obama
I am now 64 years old and this still makes me cry. I watched 3 days of this sad event with my dad and mom. I remember everything about the day JFK was murdered.
Judy McCoy this makes me sad just watching it now, so I can only imagine what it must've been like back then when it actually happened. One of the last true presidents that actually cared about the people and embodied what a president should be.
Same here. My parents were devestated. I remember so much about that weekend. We were sent home from school. They didn't tell us what happened but I learned from my Mom that he'd been killed when I got home. Such a sad day.
Judy McCoy Yes, I Am 60 Now and Remember I Was In 1St Grade. We Were Lined Up In The Hallway For Lunch & All The Teachers Were Confused , Talking Amongst Themselves. I Think They Dismissed Us Early. I remember Watching The TV Next Few Days. Though I Was Not Totally Comphrending It All, I Remember How Sad Everyone Was. Now, Looking Back, I Don't Think Any Presidents Death Since Or In The Future, Could Touch As Many People As JFK'S Violent Death. My Heart Ached For The Kennedys. So Much Tragedy For Them...It's Incomprehensible For Any Of Us To Even Imagine! JFK,Bobby & MLK....The Three Most Progressive & Humanitarian Leaders Of Our Time....All Assassinated ...Because They Cared..... Evidently Too Much.
Judy McCoy you mean assianated
I'm in UK I was 5yrs old on this sad day it was one of my earliest memories xx
Jackie Kennedy was impeccable as his wife and impeccable at his funeral, he couldnt have chosen someone better, his wife deserved the utmost respect
She came from a Republican family

Dignified
Victoria . Thank you for bringing it up. Thank you for your words. I sign both of my names under your words.
Jackie Kennedy is deserving of all our admiration for showing bravery and majesty.
I will never forget talking with my grandfather about this sad, sad event. He was far too young to die and in such a horrible way for his family to have to repeatedly watch over and over again. What a strong person Jackie had to be to go through on that day. I will go to my grave believing that it was a government conspiracy on November 22, 1963. I am only 46 but I will never forget what conversations I had about all this horror with my grandfather. May John F. Kennedy R.I.P.
"Government conspiracy" is pretty vague. At some point, you should come up with a few names and a plausible scenario. I too believe that it was a conspiracy but one that wasn't limited to the "government."
I'm only 14 but watching this makes me cry every time. The fact that this young President was killed in such a horrible way and that he had a wife and 2 young children who were just days shy of their 3rd and 6th birthdays and losing their father so young and him being absent for most of their lives, a thing that no child should have to go through. I love and miss you President Kennedy, God Bless your Soul.
Do you miss this about JFK?
JFK was a low-life legendary adulterer. During his presidency, Kennedy engaged in casual sex with dozens of women, including strangers whom aides would procure for him. As described by biographer Geoffrey Perret, Kennedy “brazenly put his hand up their skirts, propositioned them within minutes of meeting and groped their breasts and buttocks even as he danced with them.”

@@salvation4all313 If you think for one minute that men of power and wealth, men who built this nation weren't womanizers you're very naive. In fact it was known and looked the other way by wives of men with great wealth and power throughout this great countries history. Numerous past Presidents had extra marital affairs. I'm not condoning it as much as I'm stating a fact. I don't believe it has anything to do with Kennedys ability to govern. And by the way, I'm guessing that with your moniker you're a religious person. Well you can bet believe that JFK didn't molest Altar Boys. So let's not be so quick to judge. It's also well documented that at the time of JFKs assassination He and Jackie had never been closer in their marriage together. He was a smart man, a brave man, a diplomat and most of all, a Patriot!

I think Jackie got the most pain because she was the one who not only was in the car with her husband, but she had to see her husband brutally shot and his lifeless body lying on her lap. I’m amazed at how emotionally strong she was especially with her kids.
I have never watched this whole thing before. It really made my cry. He was taken too early. He had so much more to accomplish. Watching his children just made me so sad.

@Fat Cat Gaming ... Of course it's not a good thing. JFK was a low-life.
I am now 86, listening again to the funeral march, which still gives me chills. One of the saddest days, for me, in the history of this nation. I will always associate Texas with the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Oh well the state of Texas seems to hide a negative past for a reason my dear pals and friends in the 2020s.
I wasnt yet born but it sure muat have been a sad day way back in 1963.
The world was much different than in 2022.
Oh God be our saviour and our hope in the years to come.
I was in San Antonio and saw the Texas people's shock, horror and sadness that this tragedy happened in our state.
Je veux le même
Not to mention Johnson's involvement
60 years...still powerful today.
John Lennon Jr 53*
Conspiracy that won't go away. We all know who planned this attack.
I remember this well. I was 6 years old. My mother sat in front of the television set and sobbed throughout the entire funeral. The nation was horrified at this assassination. Nowadays people have become so jaded, so insensitive to violence that today this would never have the same numbing effect it did back in 1963.
I was 4, and had basically the exact same experience. My parents were crying (which was a bit scary for me, being only 4).
And, no, I can't imagine there being a funeral televised and watched like this now-a-days. 💔
I was only born on 2/15/1994 but I love doing research about this president who Was assassinated.
I remember my mother telling me about this when she was a young girl of 11 very sad and back when compassion really meant something
I wouldn't come along until a year after JFK's funeral. My mother was a lifelong republican and a conservative one at that. But she LOVED JFK for some odd reason. As a republican myself who has been in politics for over 20 years and knows JFK was a party boy and adulterer who's rich mob connected daddy bought him the presidency, I'd sure love to know why everyone loved this man so much!
@@retroguy9494 he done his thing but he was still for the people and making a difference I believe that is why they did
This was 7 years before I was born. Still makes this grown man cry.
What strikes me here is the dignity in this voice, the dignity of the remembrance, and the dignity in politics and unity of the population that is so lacking today.
The pain felt by the World on this day still reverberates today...
@@sarahevans7289 Proof or say sike right now
Unless you were living back then it is difficult to imagine the shock to the nation. Presidents rode in open vehicles. Walked into crowds. Violence was not an everyday occurrence in your face like today. Nobody thought of assassinations. It was just unbelievable. I read several posts complaining about security for President Obama on another thread. Well, this is the reason why. I will never forget that day.
I take it you were around during that time?
Anthony Romantini Yes.
Yes, I agree with you. I recall when my mom and all the neighbors came of their apartments all crying in a panic saying they killed JFK. I too lived this day, although young but I was glued to the TV watching the funeral on this sad day.
But Abraham Lincoln was also assassinated. Why is it that people had never considered about such things?
P.S. Sorry if I have said anything offensive, I'm not American but I'm learning this part of history in class and I was curious.
Fatina Kao because that was so long ago and was todo with the civil war
At 12:25, the soldier at the rear of the casket is Captain Samuel Bird. He was the soldier's soldier, serving with high distinction in Vietnam. His story is a highly compelling read of gallantry and intrepidity. He suffered very severe and highly painful wounds including the loss of brain matter. He was promoted to Major. He died in 1984.
Ray Herbst thank you. I always wondered what happened to Lt Bird.
I believe he suffered his injury only a few days before leaving Vietnam.
what’s even sadder is this was held on his son’s 3rd birthday, may both JFK and his son rest-in peace
This was the most heart wrenching event to the USA and the world! God Bless Him
R.I.P John F Kennedy
(1917 - 1963)
Shalight Sparkle you right
It would be 2017-2063.....
I have never met John F Kennedy..I have seen the film PT109 which showed his heroic deeds..Although I am from Malaysia, I admire him as a great leader. He is my idol..I have fee books about him, and one I like most is ' Kennedy' by Robert Dallek..The film '13 Days' showed how great he was as the world's leader..When he died, I was 15 years old..Today I am 67...
Shalight Sparkle j
Born when,Pope bendict XV was pope and died when John the 23rd was pope also died that same year.
The sense of loss comes right back to me, even after 51 years!
+Barney Fife I hear ya, friend. I was not even born yet, but I still feel the impact.
+Barney Fife The heartbreak and loss of that day still hits me full force. It kills me to see Mr.s Kennedy with her two little children......heartbreaking. I still cry when I hear the funeral drums.
This was 53 years. Grief has no time limit.
You're comparing the assassination of the President to a singer?
Yeah I got that. Hence the reason for my question.
I sadly remember those 4 DARK DAYS in November of 1963, today while rewatching it, I still cry at the loss of this great man.
Me too, Gary, me too.
When John F. Kennedy died, a large part of America died with him... the american dream
I wouldn't say that the dream died. Instead, it hardened the souls of many as they began to contemplate and question what their government was doing and telling the people.
Many of us can't own a house working at a minimum wage job
that is true
Still remember it till this day I live in Perth Australia was 16 at the time .It was early Saturday morning our time as i was going to work when the neighbours started coming out of their homes crying out that President Kennedy had been shot and killed it is still one of the saddest times i can remember.In those times we had no satellite T .V so it took two days before we had any vision of this sad event .When my husband and i came to the U.S.A for the first time we went to the graveside in Arlington to see the graveside which by that time had become the family graveside I really cried because it was so sad and the eternal flame made it so much more
RIP Kennedy Family
Matthew goodwin: Not just a large part of America, but a large part of two generations - the generation that fought for ideals in WWII, and the huge one that followed, determined to transform the whole society.
I'll be glad when the truth is finally revealed publicly.
@Corporal Dunn CIA did it.
The Zapruder film is fake! Kennedy wasn't shot at all!
Won't ever come out. It'll be barried and forgotten about. They will see to that.
ALL the data was supposed to be released to the public after 50 years had passed. Instead, a few heavily redacted and blacked out pages were released.
@@TruthandjusticeXXL, he was shot, he was killed. He never had time to feel pain, though in the autopsy photos it seems as though he looked surprised.
RIP John f Kennedy, 35th president of America.
He shall walk with Jesus while he watches over us.
Even the man blowing the bugle @ 40:13 missed a note due to his emotions and what was happening. A true trooper.
"Remembering the tears of my parents, it was like the whole world stopped on Nov. 22, 1963, the whole week we did not have school, just to watch what was going on, I was only 11 in 1963, but still remember that it was one of the saddest days and week in history"!!! 😥😢
Cathy White exactly the same for me. 6th grade in 1963. The memory of that awful Friday remains crystal clear.
So sad. My Parents told me about it when one of the Anniversaries came around. Watching Walter Kronkite struggle with his emotions when he broke the news that confirmed for certain that the President was Dead is so moving even now. I live in the UK and the only major world events I have witnessed have been the Death of Diana and the attacks on The Twin Towers.
R.I.P innocent angel your in heaven now but we don't forget you 💔
What's really sad is that we also lost his Brother Robert who would have made an excellent president if given the chance.....a lot of JFKs work was a joint effort with RFK......
gay -seris He was talking about Robert who was assassinated...
plus the Kennedy family lost 2 more boys at the wars. how sad
It's a damn curse.
@@AbrahamLincoln4 go to the cementary ded man
@@nygelterns4683 This country needs me man.
I was in my 5th grade classroom when the news broke. There was a women's loud anguished wail from the direction of the principal's office. A few minutes later the teacher was called from our classroom. Shortly thereafter she came back to break the news to us. We were sent home. I remember watching the events of the next several days on TV. This brings back the memories of the shocked disbelief of those days. I was attending my Dad's funeral 15 months later.
This is a beautiful tribute to a beloved President. Thank you.
It’s nice to see this clear color footage from the JFK funeral. In 1963, I remember watching it in black and white. This was probably the most watched funeral in US History. Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was absolutely magnificent.
I saw it in black and white too. One of my earliest and saddest memories 😢
I was 18 when this happened. Living in a small town in country Queensland, Australia. It was a Saturday morning. My mother woke me up to tell me. She’d heard it on the radio…no tv for us in those days. We cried and hugged the radio all day to find more news. The mystique and tragedy of the Kennedy clan continues. May they Rest in Peace…only Carolyn survives. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you from a Yank who remembers him well and how he inspired a generation.
Carolyn is now the U.S. Ambassador to Australia. Go visit her. She would really like that.❤
It's still terribly sad, even after all these years. I was thirteen at the time.
I was 12 when this happened. I am now 69. I remember this clearly it was such a bad time. We all had hope. Not everyone loved John Kennedy but we still had hope. Ever since his death things did not get better they only got worse. To this day we still suffer the consequences of John F. Kennedy's death. Things did not get better they only got worse.
You are so correct. Americans lost faith and hope on November 22, 1963. I was 18 years old and had graduated from high school in May 1963. We as a people seemed to all have died that day. Our Democracy has never truly recovered and America has slowly eroded ever since. 😢😢🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was 12 years old when this happened. I was going to school in New York State and my dad was in the Air Force. Nothing had been said at school. When I got home my dad was sitting at the kitchen table with my mom listening to the radio. I had a shocked look on my face because my Dad had never gotten home before me. He looked at me and said, the President's been killed. I looked at him and said, who's the President? It just did not compute. When my dad said, Kennedy, it hit me. I sat in front of the TV the entire weekend. I saw Lee Harvey Oswald killed on live television. It was a weekend I won't ever forget.
I have never trusted the government since that weekend.
Now that we know that in all likelihood the CIA did the killing, we can never trust this government.
The country died that weekend. America has never been the same since.
Here in January of 2024 we still do not know the whole truth of what went on concerning the murder of John F. Kennedy.
I am now 72 years old and I know that we have been lied to.
I watched this at the Kennedy library on my senior trip to Boston. 2/3 of my class and our teachers cried the entire time.
I was 12 yrs old remember watching with our entire Irish Family of 10 children we were silent for the entire funeral for the first time in our lives. President Kennedy will always be in our hearts forever. God Bless America.
It's a very interesting mix of both catholic and national honors, and beautifully executed.
Rest In Peace Mr. Kennedy, you're are one of my favorite presidents from the United States. (1917 - 1963)
1917?
Also m one of my favorite presidents I ever learned.
@@nygelterns4683 Yes
@@marcusholloway685 i thought he said he was pres in 1917
I remember watching in real time as a kid on our black and white television. So surreal to see this now, all these years later and in color. It was a huge blow to our beloved country.
I'm 75. Will never forget that day. I was a junior in high school. Heard about shooting going up stairway to study hall. Thought was terrible joke someone was making. When got to study hall they had it on intrrcom.He wasn't perfect. Neither are any of us. But if you weren't around then you missed a magical time while he was alive. There will never be anyone else like him. He brought us through a potential war with the Soviet Union over their installing missiles in Cuba. I still miss him. Thank you President Kennedy for everything.
I was four years old at the time of President Kennedy's death, and living in Arlington, Virginia. My family, myself included, attended the procession that lined the streets of Arlington and Washington, DC. Growing up in a Republican family, I can still remember my mother telling us children that JFK, although a Democrat, was the best president this country has ever had. I am now living in Western New York; and every time I go home to Virginia, I make it a point to visit Arlington National Cemetery, not just to visit the gravesites of the Kennedy's, but my mom and infant brother are buried less than a hundred feet from theirs.
JFK wouldn't recognize the Democratic party today . It's a disgrace . JFK was a great President ! God rest his soul . Like Hamlets father it was a murder most foul and the when Ruby shut up Oswald made it nefarious . It's a stain on our country .
When I finally got to visit the USA from Australia nine years ago, the first place I went to in Washington was JFK’s grave. I went back more than once in the 5 days I was there.
Damn. God bless you.
Even though I was not born yet I remember my mom telling me on how good he was as President of the United States of America 🇺🇸
What a tragedy that he got assassinated 😢
Ho vissuto il periodo dei Kennedy , ero una ragazzina, ma ero affascinata da quella famiglia , ho ammirato come presidente Johonn e il fratello Robert, grandi uomini
Che resteranno nella storia.
...’Hail To The Chief’ has NEVER sounded the same since.....
To whomever produced and edited this funeral video, I salute you. Very well done. Artistic and tasteful touches throughout. Put together with love and care. Thank you.
I’m 43, was born in 1977. I’m grateful that books/ history classes/documentaries like this exist so I can revisit this period of time. I’ve read some good books about the Kennedy administration and I have so much respect for Jackie. She was a terrific First Lady and despite her grief helped plan this incredible funeral for her husband. It’s truly sad that this kind of class and decorum doesn’t exist in 2020. November 22nd 1963 was the ending of an era. Of course this incredible service for John Kennedy took place in the days afterward so perhaps I shouldn’t say that. I wish we could get back to this someday but all my generation has witnessed since I was about 15 years old is ugly partisanship and ugliness.
I'm 73 and experienced this awful weekend first hand. I think you are right about an era ending. And I've always felt that the assassination is what ended it. Things were never the same after that.
To my dying day, I'll never forget the sound of those drums.
I agree, and I was quite young at the time.
Me too pla1945 . I wasn't even alive when this happened-but from the very first time I watched footage of the Funeral, and heard those drums.....that sound has never left me. Whenever I hear it a chill instantly goes through my body and tears will well up in my eyes.
So long ago, yet it's still so vivid in my memory.
Ditto. I was 7 - my Dad flew on B52s and disappeared on high alert for days. I sat all weekend with my Mom watching this. Will never forget the drums. We watched in in black and white - all these years I have never watched this in color. Thanks for sharing.
MY FATHER said the same thing

I WASN'T BORN YET BUT STILL KENNEDY IS THE PRESIDENT AMONG ALL PRESIDENTS, EVEN TODAY AT HIS GRAVESITE IS VERY EMOTIONAL
Yes, it is. I've been to Washington 3 times and I always pay a visit to JFK's grave. It's very moving.
@Julia Kennedy absolutely Julia the man was a legend that will grow forever and inspiring hopefully many generations to come.

Five shots. Oswald and his buddy on the grassy knoll.
This has haunted me since I was 6 years old in '63. It's my clearest childhood memory.
Remember that horse ?
@@babylontimes639 yes, and sometimes I can still here the "click-clack" of his hooves.
@Elaine Lane To in which none of us will ever really know who did this damage killing him like this. Who were actually the players other than Oswald who said he is a patsy.
I was 8
I was in 6th hour, 14 yrs old. It came over our school PA. Everybody was crying, we had no school until his funeral was over. I could cry just watching this. I am now 74, 😪
I was almost 7 years old when this happened, but I remember. People cried openly, and everyone knew there was an evil power in America greater than the Presidency, and a darkness settled on the country. That darkness has prevailed, but Almighty God will destroy it in His perfect timing, which I believe is soon upon us. I have studied this event all my life and can feel the raw hurt to this day. It is our responsibility to return America to the greatness God intended for her, and we surely cant do that without Him. I predict a billion souls will come to faith in Christ before the end of my lifetime, and when that occurs,a dramatic return to decency and Christianity will transform us and the world. John Kennedy was and is a lesson in courage, and his wife a lesson in strength. Evil shall not, and cannot prevail. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
Glenn Hudson succinctly said. As a nation we must seek the face of Jesus Christ, repent of our besetting sins, reject the demons attempting to ruin our faith, seek to do the Will of God, and be a blessing to each other each day. Lord help us!
"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."
Right on Glenn. Just in case you don't know this already, JFK also spoke these words in that SAME presidential inaugural address on Friday, January 20, 1961:
"If a free society cannot help its poor, it cannot save the few who are very rich"
@@richardsantalone9380 I a
I was 7 years when all this happened.
Beautifully said Glenn, Amen.
RIP Jack. Much loved and taken from the world when we most needed you.
At 7:39 and immediately onward, the cadence of the drum corps is the most haunting I have ever heard. And to think Jackie directed to have the funeral modeled after Abraham Lincoln's funeral. So heart-rending, the marriage of Jackie and Jack was improving after the loss of their son Patrick, and she was only 34.
Ray Herbst these drums are made special and toned deep for military and state funerals.....there is one of them used in this procession on display in the smithsonian in Washington DC.....
i thought they had broken up and he was with Angie Dickerson and she ran to Greece.......i only thought...
Me too - and I was a drummer who played cadence for such affairs.
I was in 5th grade and 11 years. old living in the DC area. My mother took my brother and me down to DC to be there on the curb to witness the funeral procession travel from the White House to the Capitol so that the people could pay their respects. We stood on the corner of Constitution and Pennsylvania Ave. There was a young man, in Navy uniform who let me get up to the curb so I could see clearly. I still have vivid memories of the sights and sounds, the cadence of the marching, the clip clop of the horses' hooves drawing the caisson, and of Blackjack, the riderless horse. Silence in the crowds except for sobbing.
Ray, I also noticed something else at 7:39. Almost immediately you see a rebel flag being held by someone who was part of the ceremonial march. Nobody thought twice about it then I'm sure.
I cried from nov 22 to Nov 25 1963 He was my hero. I was a junior in highschool and to this day I have never called a president the only president I ever give that title to is John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
I'll never forget, I was six years old, in the first grade, too young to understand what was happening. The following month, for class, the teacher asked us to bring in a Xmas present, and do a show and tell type presentation. My parents had bought me, a toy rifle, which I'd brought into class. The teacher grabbed it, and flung it across the classroom floor in disgust, as I was too young to understand what was the reason, being only six, something I'll never forget.
One of the saddest times I can remember from my childhood... Still makes me sad today...
Rest in Peace, Mr.President.❤😭🙏
Yes rest in peace 😭😭
He shall rest peacefully.
He will always walk with Jesus.
What a tragic loss of life.
Beyond words watching this right now ! As Tears 😭 literally flow from my face the crazy part of my emotions is I was not even born when President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in November of 1963. I did not show up until
1979! Seeing this and studying his life in school reading about him and his lovely,beautiful family it’s moments like these that are so endearing to the American 🇺🇸 spirit! I can’t speak for anyone but myself seeing the flag draped casket on the horse and carriage, the drums beating as the troops are marching, the black stallion without the rider on his back ( that really made me cry harder ) and then 1st Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy so full of grace and stoically graced as she walks and hold her two children’s hand! She represents honor, and poise and dignity of the best class as she stood tall and bold for a nation that was hurting at the fall of a great leader! We will never have days like these anymore! I just know it did not matter what race or ethnic group or political affiliation you belonged to! Everyone felt the pain of November 22, 1963 and though I was not there watching this reminds me of the honor and bravery me my sister and my dad all saw when we joined the armed forces and both my sister and my dad retired and I was medically separated due to an injury but I am glad to have served faithfully and honorably! I love God Almighty I love my family and loved ones and I love The United States 🇺🇸 of America! We need to get back to God get back to integrity and honor and values! The way JFK was honored that day of his funeral is amazing and it will go down in history as one of the most watched broadcasting in television history! I am very glad to be an American 🇺🇸 hailing from the magnolia/ hospitality state of Mississippi thank you President John F Kennedy for your impeccable service as a Naval officer; Commander in Chief( President ) and senator we still love you and of course millions miss you! God bless the Kennedy and Bouvier Families
Thank you for posting this. I was in 4th grade and remember our principal all of a sudden announcing our beloved President had been assassinated and our teacher bursting into tears. My parents had no TV but I remember we watched part of the funeral at school on a small black and white TV. This video brought back many memories. I cried through most of it.
