The motorcade carrying former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Zell Miller's flag-draped casket has arrived at the Georgia Capitol where he will lie in state until a state funeral Wednesday.
Republican and Democratic state lawmakers lined up in front of the Capitol to pay tribute as the casket arrived. Gov. Nathan Deal and his wife led the procession into the building as bagpipes played.
Miller was eulogized at an Atlanta church earlier Tuesday by three former presidents: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. All three counted Miller as a personal friend.
Miller served as governor from 1991 to 1999 and a U.S. senator from 2000 to 2005. He is an iconic figure in Georgia politics as author of the education lottery that finances HOPE college scholarships and pre-kindergarten programs in public schools.
He died Friday at his north Georgia home at the age of 86.
