ATLANTA---President and Mrs. Bush will attend Coretta Scott King`s funeral on Tuesday, the White House announced Saturday.

Forty-two thousand mourners braved cold, wet weather Saturday to pay respects to Mrs. King as her casket lay in honor at the State Capital.

SHe was the first woman and the first African-American to lie in honor at the statehouse.

A horse drawn hearse brought her bronze casket to the Capital and bagpipes played "Amazing Grace" as an honor guard from the Georgia State Patrol carried it inside.

Mourners spent an average of two hours in line to spend a brief moment of silecne in front of the casket.

King`s four children--Yolanda, Dexter, Martin Luther King III and Bernice---spent a few minutes at the open casket before the doors were thrown open to the public. Yolanda King stroked her mother`s face, and she and her sister Bernice wiped away tears.
