Pope Francis’s funeral will be held on Saturday as world leaders including U.S President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky said they would attend to honour the Catholic leader.
The Argentine pontiff, 88, died on Monday from stoke, less than a month after returning home from five weeks in hospital battling double pneumonia.
His funeral, which is expected to draw huge crowds across the world will take place at 10.00am, 0800 GMT on Saturday in the square in front of St Peter’s Basilica at Vatican.
