Mourners pay respects to Sen. Dianne Feinstein at SF City Hall

Thousands paid their respect to late Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Wednesday as she departed San Francisco City Hall, a place where her political career began.

SAN FRANCISCO - Thursday's memorial for late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in San Francisco will no longer be open to the public, her office said at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

Feinstein's office said the change was due to "increased security," but did not elaborate.

Only invited guests will have access to the service, her office said.
