Former first lady Nancy Reagan’s funeral will be held Friday at 2 p.m. ET, according to Melissa Giller, spokesperson for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

Reagan will lay in repose Wednesday and Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday, March 9 from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and also on Thursday, March 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.before being buried Friday next to her husband, Ronald Reagan.

Guests will park at 400 National, Simi Valley California.

As before,  shuttles will run continuously to the Reagan Library throughout those hours. Because security will be heightened at the Library during this time, no large bags or cameras will be permitted and all bags will be inspected.  Strollers will not be allowed inside the building. Gifts and flowers will only be accepted at the bottom of Presidential Drive and at the shuttle pick up location. For more information, CLICK HERE

Reagan died Sunday in her home in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure at age 94.

Revered in Republican politics, Reagan was known as a fierce protector of her husband, both personally and politically. She also launched the “Just say no” anti-drugs campaign and advocated for stem-cell research later in life.
