Peter Field: All living U.S. Presidents pay respects to Jimmy Carter - Holiday Breakfast

Hundreds have packed into Washington's National Cathedral to mourn 39th US President Jimmy Carter who died last week aged 100. 

All five living US Presidents attended the service, before officials began transporting Carter's body to his home state and final resting place - Georgia. 

Canterbury University Associate Professor Peter Field says Carter signed the 1978 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. He says the Camp David Accords were significant for getting Israel officially recognised.
