Photos: San Francisco pays tribute to Sen. Dianne Feinstein

The body of the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein is lying in state at San Francisco’s City Hall for mourners wishing to say goodbye.

It is the building where Feinstein served as a board supervisor and the city’s first female mayor before departing for a groundbreaking career in Congress three decades ago.

The San Francisco native was remembered as an indefatigable public servant and an inspiration to girls and women.

She saved the city’s iconic cable cars and brought national attention to the AIDS crisis.

Feinstein died Friday. She was 90.
