Mourners pay respects to ex-Sen. Jesse Helms
Helms, who died Friday after years of failing health, lay in a closed casket covered with a U.S. flag and flanked by state troopers at Hayes-Barton Baptist Church.
The Republican, who served in the Senate from 1973 to 2003, worshipped there for decades and served as a deacon.
