‘Through our tears let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man,’ Bush said of his father and namesake, George H.W. Bush.
He called him ‘the best father a son or daughter can have’ – losing his composure and lowering his head amid tears after delivering the preceding speech at a clipped face.
