Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral is at the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, with several political figures making an appearance.

Cheney was vice president to the 43rd president, George W. Bush, from 2001 to 2009.

Bush spoke at the funeral and told the story of how he picked Cheney to be his running mate.

"25 years ago, I had a big choice to make a big job to fill. I wanna know all my options. So I enlisted the help of a distinguished former White House chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense to lead my search for running mate Dick Cheney and I went through the files, name by name." said Bush. "We talked over the various qualities I was looking for in a vice president, preparedness, mature judgment, rectitude, and loyalty. Above all, I wanted someone with the ability to step into the presidency without getting distracted by the ambition to seek it. After weeks of these meetings, I began to have a thought I could not shake."

"I realized the best choice for the vice president was a man sitting right in front of me."
