US leaders deliver tributes at Madeleine Albright's funeral

Details

Description

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.
