The 43rd President solemnly approached his father’s casket and placed his hand on the flag-draped coffin while the former First Lady stood by his side and gripped his arm.
He then walked toward the assembled crowd of mourners and visitors and began to shake hands and take pictures.
Bush then continued shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with others in the Rotunda gallery.

The surprise appearance by George W. and Laura Bush took place just a few hours after the Bush family met at Blair House, the U.S. president’s official guest house, with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Laura Bush went to the White House Tuesday morning for a tour of Christmas decorations from Melania Trump, posing with members of the presidential mansion’s household staff.
She and former President George W. Bush, whom the current Oval Office occupant once called the ‘worst president ever,’ greeted the Trumps hours later and disappeared inside Blair House.
President Trump shook both Bushes’ hands. Melania opted for kisses on both of their cheeks.
Trump waved to cameras when he and the first lady emerged 23 minutes later.
Despite Blair House’s location about 200 feet from the White House’s front gates on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Trumps opted for a brief motorcade ride to the other side of the building on a 40-degree afternoon.
On Monday night, the President and the First Lady made a surprise – and brief – appearance at the Rotunda to pay their respects to George H.W. Bush.
The couple entered the rotunda and held hands as they quietly approached Bush’s coffin draped in the American flag.
A solemn-looking president saluted Bush’s remains while the first lady pressed her right hand over her heart.
They left about a minute later – as silently as they arrived.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump made an unannounced visit to the U.S. Capitol on Monday evening to visit former President George H.W. Bush’s remains
U.S. Capitol Police cleared the rotunda of visitors before the first couple arrived. The doors to the rotunda had opened about 45 minutes earlier for members of the public to come pay their respects.
Earlier on Tuesday, George H.W. Bush’s service dog Sully was among the dozens who gathered to pay their respects to the late president as his casket lies in the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday.
The yellow Labrador was cast into the spotlight after he was seen lying by his late owner’s American flag-covered casket in a photograph that went viral over the weekend as the nation mourns the passing of its 41st president.
The casket is now lying in state at the US Capitol before it will be transported to the Washington National Cathedral for a memorial service on Wednesday.
A steady stream of thousands of visitors – including President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania – flowed through the rotunda on Tuesday.
Dressed in an American Flag therapy vest, Sully was escorted into the rotunda by a woman who stood by the dog’s side as cameras clicked away.
In attendance were a number of veterans, many of them in wheelchairs, and current military personnel standing at attention.

Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain, stopped by to pay her respects.
It’s believed to be her first visit to the Capitol Rotunda since her husband laid in state under its Dome in September.
McCain stood before the flag-draped casket, her head bowed, for a few moments.
Dressed in black with a single strand of pearls, the wife of the late senator’s eyes were teary but she held her composure before the crowd of people visiting the late president’s remains.
Before she left, she kissed her hand, walked to the coffin and touched it.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell escorted her from the rotunda.

The CIA also honored its old boss, the only spy chief to become president, with visits the rotunda Tuesday, joining members of the public who had lined up before dawn to pay respects to the 41st president.
CIA Director Gina Haspel and former directors John Brennan and George Tenet visited Bush’s casket, as did Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when Bush assembled the coalition that rescued Kuwait from Iraq’s invasion in the Gulf War.
Kuwait’s Emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, also arrived to pay respects to the former US president.
Members of the Bush family who attended the viewing on Tuesday included the president’s son Neil and his wife along with the president’s nephew Billy Bush and his family.
Journalists Brett Baier and Chris Matthews arrived in the afternoon shortly before famed NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, PGA golfer Phil Mickelson, Duke head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and professional golfer Hale Irwin.

After services in Washington, Bush will be returned to Houston to lie in repose at St Martin’s Episcopal Church before being buried Thursday at his family plot on the grounds of his presidential library.
His final resting place will be alongside Barbara Bush, his wife of 73 years who died in April, and Robin Bush, the daughter they lost to leukemia in 1953 at age three.
Trump has ordered the federal government closed Wednesday for a national day of mourning. Flags on public buildings are flying at half-staff for 30 days.
Bush’s passing puts him in the Washington spotlight after more than two decades living the relatively low-key life of a former president. His death also reduces membership in the ex-presidents’ club to four: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

The president had a form of Parkinson’s disease, and Sully could open doors, pick up items and summon help.
The beloved pup accompanied Bush’s remains aboard Air Force One as they were transported from Houston to the capital on Sunday.

Sully will soon go back to work alongside two other service dogs helping wounded military personnel at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, DC.
He will assist with physical and occupational therapy to wounded soldiers and active duty personnel – a tribute to his late owner Bush – a decorated World War II veteran.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bush family during this difficult time,’ said John Miller, President and CEO of America’s VetDogs.
‘It was truly an honor to have provided service dog Sully to be by the president’s side for the past several months.
‘As a true patriot and a visionary, President Bush will forever be viewed by people with disabilities and their families as a hero through his efforts to enact the Americans with Disabilities Act.
‘We are forever grateful to his service to the American people.’

GEORGE H.W. BUSH’S SERVICE DOG, SULLY, CAN PERFORM TWO-PAGE LIST OF COMMANDS
Sully is seen above with the former President in this undated image posted on social media
Sully, George H.W. Bush’s yellow Labrador service dog, is not done doing his duty for his country.
The loyal canine, who was photographed mournfully lying beside his friend’s casket in Houston on Sunday, will accompany him on the plane to Washington, D.C., on Monday, CNN is reporting.
Sully was named, appropriately enough, after Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, the heroic pilot who successfully landed a damaged passenger jet on the Hudson River which saved the lives of 155 people in 2009.
He is a specially trained dog who is capable of following a lengthy list of commands, including answering the phone and fetching items.
‘As one person said, he can do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini,’ Bush family spokesperson Jim McGrath told CNN.
The Bush family has grown especially close to the dog, as evidenced by an Instagram post by former President George W. Bush.
‘As much as our family is going to miss the dog, we’re comforted to know he’ll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that he brought to 41,’ the 43rd President wrote on Instagram.
The post was shared by the dog’s Instagram account, ‘sullyhwbush.’
Sully was given to the elder Bush by America’s VetDogs, a New York-based nonprofit group which provides service dogs to veterans in need.
After news broke of Bush’s passing on Saturday, America’s VetDogs tweeted a statement, saying: ‘America’s VetDogs is deeply saddened by the loss of President George H.W. Bush.
‘Our condolences go out to the Bush family at this time.’

Sully (seen above in this undated file photo posted to Instagram) will continue his service to America after the death of the 41st President
America’s VetDogs, an organization which pairs specially trained service dogs with wounded veterans, will return Sully to its Smithtown, New York headquarters, where he will stay for the holiday season
He is then expected to be transferred to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s Facility Dog Program in Bethesda, where canines help wounded veterans as they undergo physical and occupational therapy
