Pope Francis’ funeral: A visual guide
The funeral of Pope Francis will be simpler than those of previous popes, following instructions he set out himself.
But as a head of state and leader of more than a billion Catholics worldwide, it will still be a spectacle of ceremony and tradition.
His death has drawn famous figures, politicians, and thousands of followers to Vatican City to pay their respects.
Archbishops and bishops will start gathering at 08:30 local time (07:30 BST) in the Constantine Wing, a corridor adjacent to St Peter’s Basilica.
At the same time, Catholic priests will congregate in St Peter’s Square.
