any moment the former president s casket will depart this building in houston. it goes to ellington field. before then leaving for joint base andrews. we caught a glimpse of the doors open and the president s dog sully who was by his side for so many years, once the casket gets here to washington will be transferred through motorcade through d.c. to the capitol later this afternoon. let s bring in kerry sanders who is on the ground in houston. we ve seen some activity. perhaps family members arriving for the motorcade over to ellington, right? reporter: that s correct, over to the joint airbase. the buses arrived here, on board family members. buses typically have some sort of advertisement on them naming them but they are all blacked out and as you can see over my shoulder here as we re standing at the front of the funeral home there are some folks who have gathered here to pay their respects. as we just look across the
