At the heart of the event was a family in mourning. The sharpest emotion came when Mandela's ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela kissed his widow Graca Machel, bent down and hugged her for several long seconds, then kissed her again. Both women, dressed in black, had been at Mandela's bedside at the end. Four of Mandela's grandchildren made speeches.
FW de Klerk, South Africa's last white president, who 20 years ago to the day had shared the Nobel peace prize with Mandela, said: "I'm very sad but very thankful that the nation is coming together in this wonderful way. I think that's how he would have wanted it."
At one point, Obama quoted the closing sentences of Mandela's celebrated speech from the dock at the Rivonia trial in 1963. From one great orator to another, the words of South Africa's first black president were now in the mouth of his American counterpart, electrifying the crowd.
