Former Vice President Joe Biden is delivering the eulogy of former South Carolina Senator Ernest “Fritz” Hollings at his funeral services Tuesday at The Citadel in Charleston. Hollings died earlier this month at 97. 

The funeral caps off three days of mourning for the former governor and longtime senator, whose body lay in repose Monday at the North Carolina state Capitol.

Biden has been tapped several times to provide moving speeches honoring his late friends in Congress. Earlier this year, Biden delivered a thoughtful and entertaining eulogy of former Michigan Rep. John Dingell. Last year, he honored his longtime friend former Sen. John McCain during his funeral services in Arizona.
