Pope Francis's funeral procession begins in Vatican City

ai generated text

Pope Francis died at the age of 88 after a 12-year pontificate marked by significant controversy. His funeral was held in St. Peter's Square, with estimates suggesting 250,000 to 400,000 people in attendance, depending on the source. The ceremony was led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the dean of the College of Cardinals, and Cardinal Camerlengo Kevin Farrell, with other church officials assisting. The funeral rites were solemn and took several hours to complete, with the pope's coffin being carried out of the basilica by white-gloved pallbearers, and the liturgical rite of closing the coffin being led by Cardinal Farrell.
