- Reason
- This is a well-composed, non-manipulated image that is used on two pages — one of which is high-trafficked — and captures an important historical moment. The last event of this type was in 2006 and did not produce an image of this caliber. The event was well-documented and the content of the image verifiable.

- Support as nominator – Chetsford (talk) 07:28, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - overly compressed, noticeable JPEG artifacts. MER-C 10:46, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose – Far too distant viewpoint. A much closer shot dominated by the coffin might be usable (although personally, I've already seen too much about Mr. Bush's decease). – Sca (talk) 14:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Withdraw as nom ... I think the above two comments are observant ones and, given that there are several other good photos of this event out there in the ether, I'd like to withdraw this one and evaluate options for a better submission. Chetsford (talk) 16:55, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Chetsford: Thank you! It's certainly an event worth reporting on, but the dark areas are very messy. I'm sure there's a good one, though. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs 04:46, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
