CBK funeral to feature Hillary Clinton, Rendell

The Capitol rotunda is poised Friday afternoon for the state funeral of the late Lieutenant Governor Catherine Baker Knoll.

The front entrance to the Capitol has been closed to visitors in preparation for the arrival of several high-profile public officials, including Gov. Ed Rendell and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

The roughly 45-minute service is expected to begin a little after noon and will include several choir performances and speeches by Clinton, Rendell and newly appointed Lieutenant Governor Joe Scarnati.

The honor guard will deliver the casket into the rotunda, where it will lie in state until Saturday.
