Thousands of individuals crowded into St Peter’s Square on Saturday morning for the funeral of Pope Francis.
World leaders attending the funeral included US President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Prince William, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
About 250 cardinals, as well other clergy, and spiritual brothers and sisters also attended the funeral Mass in St Peter’s Square.
According to Vatican estimates, around 200,000 crowded into the square and surrounding areas to be a component of the occasion.
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday of a stroke and heart failure. He had been weakened in his final months after battling double pneumonia, for which he was hospitalised for several weeks in February.
In the times leading as much as his funeral, hundreds processed passed his open coffin in St Peter’s Basilica to pay their respects.
Pope Francis has been remembered as “humble” and “a Pope of the people” by the interim head of the Church of England, Stephen Cottrell.
“He was an awesome Pope. But before everything, he was a follower of Jesus,” he wrote in The Telegraph.
He continued, “The whole world has been touched by his life and ministry. The whole world mourns his passing. The whole world would do well to follow his example.”
In line along with his wishes, the Pope shall be buried on the Basilica of St Mary Major, the primary pontiff to be buried there in 350 years.
