Sen. Dianne Feinstein to lie in state at San Francisco City Hall
The public is invited to pay its respects to the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein this week as her body lies in state at San Francisco City Hall, where her political career began.
People will be able to visit and sign a condolences book from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., her office said.
The senator’s funeral is scheduled for Thursday and will not be open to the public, though it will be livestreamed and broadcast for public viewing at City Hall. The funeral will take place at the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center in the Herbst Theatre.
The casket of Sen. Dianne Feinstein arrives at San Francisco City Hall, where she once served as mayor, for public viewing.
Feinstein served as the mayor of San Francisco starting in 1978, after the assassination of then-Mayor George Moscone and City Councilman Harvey Milk. She served as mayor of the city for 10 years.
Feinstein became the first woman to represent California in the U.S. Senate when she was elected in 1992 and served the state longer than any other senator. She served for years on the Judiciary Committee, Select Committee on Intelligence and the Appropriations Committee.
The 90-year-old senator died Friday at her home in Washington after struggling with a number of health issues.
