George W. Bush has paid a fond farewell to his friend and former Vice President, Dick Cheney. 

The former Republican President has spoken at Cheney's funeral at Washington's National Cathedral. 

He was a divisive figure in American politics, both for his role as the driving force behind the Iraq War, and his scathing criticism of Donald Trump. 

But Bush has told Cheney's family, many Americans are grieving Cheney's death. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking Trump did not take part in the funeral, and wasn’t invited.
