The funeral of Pope Francis will be held on April 26. He is currently lying in state at the St Peter’s Basilica, Vatican, where crowds of people have already visited to pay their tributes. Several world leaders are expected to turn up at the funeral to pay their respects to the 88-year-old pontiff.

Maria Pia Caruso travelled to Rome from her hometown in northern Italy after she learned Pope Francis had died at age 88, to say a final goodbye to a pontiff she believes brought important changes to the global Catholic Church.
