The first woman to serve as US secretary of state has been laid to rest.
United States leaders past and present praised Madeleine Albright as a fighter against fascism and a champion of women on Wednesday at a funeral service honouring her life and legacy as the US’s top diplomat.
President Joe Biden called Albright a “force of nature” who changed the tide of history and said her efforts were a big reason why the NATO alliance — which he has rallied to support Ukraine against Russia’s invasion — is strong today.
Hundreds of politicians and diplomats from around the world paid their respects to Albright at the Washington National Cathedral.
Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.
