A solemn parade of dignitaries and well-wishers offered condolences Tuesday to the family of Brian Mulroney as the former prime minister began lying in state near Parliament Hill.
An RCMP guard of honour gingerly delivered Mulroney’s flag-shrouded casket to the ballroom at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, where it will remain through Wednesday.
Mulroney’s family — his wife Mila and their children Caroline, Ben, Nick and Mark, along with Mark’s wife Vanessa and Caroline’s husband Andrew Lapham — formed a receiving line and greeted people for hours.
