1. Various of Pope Francis’ coffin on popemobile making its way to his final resting place in St. Mary Major Basilica
STORYLINE:
Pope Francis’ coffin left St. Peter’s Square, past the Colosseum in a procession to his final resting place in St. Mary Major Basilica.
World leaders and Catholic faithful bade farewell to Francis in a funeral on Saturday that highlighted his concern for the “most peripheral of the peripheries” and reflected his wishes as pastor.
Though presidents and princes attended the Mass in St. Peter’s Square, prisoners and migrants will welcome him at the basilica across town where he will be buried.
Some 250,000 people flocked to the funeral Mass and tens of thousands more lined the motorcade route, clapping and cheering “Papa Francesco”.
His simple wooden coffin travelled aboard one of his old popemobiles to its final resting place on the other side of the city.
It was then carried into the church, escorted by Swiss Guards.
