A private funeral for Meet the Press moderator Tim Russert at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington, D.C. was attended by a wide array of politicians and journalists Wednesday.
Russert's 22-year-old son Luke - who spoke of his father on Today Monday - read what he described as "my Dad's last speech."
"My dad was my best friend," he said. "Well dad, I am the man for this job."
Luke said "we are all a small part of a grand design" and ended the speech with Russert's famous phrase "Let us all go get 'em."
(See other stars who have gone too soon.)
Presidential contenders Barack Obama and John McCain sat next to each other as they mourned.
Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams, Maria Shriver, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and John Kerry also attended.
A private memorial will be held Wednesday afternoon at the Kennedy Center. The service will be broadcast on MSNBC.
Entrance music will be provided by Russert's iPod.
Russert, 58, died at work on Friday from an apparent heart attack. A wake was held Tuesday at the St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., where Luke graduated in 2004.
