Ted Kennedy’s Funeral a Star-Studded Farewell

President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and a host of major public figures such as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson attended Sen. Ted Kennedy's funeral in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica in Boston on Saturday morning.

“Ted Kennedy’s life’s work was not to champion those with wealth or power or special connections,” President Obama said in his eulogy. “It was to give a voice to those who were not heard; to add a rung to the ladder of opportunity; to make real the dream of our founding.

“He was given the gift of time that his brothers were not, and he used that gift to touch as many lives and right as many wrongs as the years would allow,” the president added.
