Motorcade in Boston for Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy on 8/27/09

Here on the Southeast Expressway facing north is the motorcade for Ted Kennedy. The motorcade left Hyannis port, Massachusetts and brought Senator Kennedy's body to Boston's Fanuel Hall and other locations that were important in Kennedy's life and then off to the JFK library in Dorchester, Mass. About 50,000 people paid their last respects to Mr. Kennedy at the library on 8/27/09 and on 8/28/09.

I recorded this clip on route 93 North in South Boston as Teds body was led by members of the Kennedy family followed by other vehicles and a Peter Pan bus. Massachusetts state police led the motorcade from Hyannis all the way into and around Boston up to the final destination at the JFK library. Senator Kennedy was a major part in millions of lives he helped and touched in his 47 years in office and the hundreds of thousands of people around the country paid their respects to say thank you to Ted.

The remaining living Presidents will attend the private funeral as millions around the world mourns.

The loud horn that you will hear is coming from an Amtrak train engine that was to the left of me off the side of the highway that was sitting on the track. The horn was blown when the motorcade drove by in tribute to Kennedy.

Thank You Ted Kennedy for everything youve done for the people of Massachusetts and around the world.
