Thousands say a final farewell to former Pope
Manchester Evening News|January 06, 2023
POPE Francis has honoured his predecessor Benedict XVI, presiding over a rare requiem Mass for a dead pontiff by a living one, in front of thousands of mourners in St Peter's Square.
Thousands say a final farewell to former Pope

Bells tolled and the faithful applauded on Thursday morning as pallbearers carried Benedict's cypress coffin out of the fog-shrouded basilica and rested it before an altar.

Benedict's longtime secretary, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, bent down and kissed a book of the Gospels left open on the coffin.

Francis, wearing the crimson vestments typical of papal funerals, then took his place and opened the Mass with a prayer.
