An Honors Ceremony will be held at the catherdral after the service.
The following streets will be closed:
Temple Street between Alameda Street & Grand Avenue
Hill Street between 1st and 3rd streets
Judge John Aiso Street between Temple and 1st
Though you'll be allowed to cross Temple at Los Angeles, Main and Spring streets and at Broadway until 8 a.m., it'll be heavy going. Those are Desha's parents in the photo.
