The funeral for Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. secretary of state, will be held Wednesday morning at the Washington National Cathedral.

World leaders and the U.S. political and foreign policy elite will pay their respects. Among those expected to be in attendance: President Joe Biden and predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, the man who picked Albright to be his top diplomat and the highest-ranking woman ever in the U.S. government at that time. Some 1,400 mourners will gather Wednesday to celebrate her life and accomplishments.

The funeral is scheduled to start at 11 a.m.

A livestream will appear below.
