Former Governor's Life Celebration Underway

Former Governor Kathleen Blanco is lying in state today in the State Capitol Rotunda for public visitation.

It's part of the three-day celebration of life for the former leader, who died on Sunday following a fight against cancer.

Tomorrow, there will be a public visitation and prayer service in Acadiana before Saturday's Mass of Christian Burial in Lafayette.

Current Governor John Bel Edwards has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff until the conclusion of the funeral on Saturday.
