Former US president Barack Obama has condemned the use of federal agents against protesters and attempts at voter suppression.
Mr Obama did not mention Mr Trump by name but he was clearly referencing recent moves by the president, who used troops to clear protesters from Lafayette Square outside the White House and sent federal agents recently to Portland, Oregon. President Trump launched another attack on postal voting today and suggested that November's presidential election be delayed.
He was also praised at the service by two other former US presidents - George W Bush and Bill Clinton. Reverend Martin Luther King Junior - a mentor to Mr Lewis in the civil rights struggle - once preached at the church. He was assassinated in 1968. On Monday his casket was taken to the US Capitol in Washington where it lay in state through Tuesday.
