Thursday's memorial for the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein will no longer be open to the public, her office announced late Wednesday.
"Due to increased security, tomorrow’s memorial service for Senator Dianne Feinstein will no longer be open to the public," a news release from the office read. "Only invited guests will have access to the service."
The reason for the change? A large number of high-profile dignitaries will attend the ceremony, which will enlarge the security perimeter to the point that members of the public likely wouldn't see much of the memorial service anyway.
"It just wouldn't be an enjoyable experience," Feinstein spokesperson Adam Russell said.
Some of the highest-profile guests scheduled to speak in person tomorrow include Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and U.S. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
Mayor London Breed will also give remarks.
Feinstein died at age 90 on Friday at her home in Washington, D.C.
Gov. Gavin Newsom swore in longtime Democratic Party insider Laphonza Butler Tuesday to serve out the remainder of Feinstein's term.
