McCain ends 81-year journey with burial at Naval Academy

Daughter and former leaders Bush, Obama deliver pointed speeches at ceremony

WASHINGTON - John McCain is being laid to rest at the US Naval Academy after a five-day procession that served as a final call to arms for a nation he warned could lose its civility and sense of shared purpose.

The private ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland, was as carefully planned as the rest of McCain's farewell tour, which began in Arizona after he died on Aug 25 from brain cancer and stretched to Washington.
