Ted Kennedy funeral arrangements have been made. Ted Kennedy will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. After lying in state at the John F. Kennedy Presidental Library, Edward Kennedy will be brought to the Roman Catholic Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston for the funeral service on Saturday.

Ted Kennedy will then be buried alongside his brothers, former President John F. Kennedy and former Senator Robert F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery.


Meanwhile, a Ted Kennedy tribute site has been set up.

All American flags at government and military buildings, as well as aboard naval vessels and at consular offices abroad, will fly at half-mast until Ted Kennedy is buried, as ordered by President Obama.

President Obama said in a statement that he and first lady Michelle Obama were "heartbroken" to learn of Kennedy's death, calling the Democratic senator "our dear friend."
