Francis presided over Easter Sunday Mass in a flower-decked St Peter's Square and then delivered a heartfelt prayer for peace in his annual round-up of global crises delivered from the gallery overlooking the piazza.

Francis appeared in good form, despite having celebrated the two-and-a-half-hour evening Easter Vigil just hours before.
