The United States will honor former President Jimmy Carter with a national day of mourning on 9 January. A state funeral will be held at Washington National Cathedral, followed by public ceremonies in Atlanta, Georgia, before his burial in Plains, next to his wife, Rosalynn. President Joe Biden has ordered US flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days. Carter, who passed away at 100, served as the 39th president and was celebrated for his humanitarian work, including earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 and advocating for global peace and human rights.
