The streets of Rome are bustling as mourners wait patiently in line outside the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major – the final resting place of Pope Francis, whose death on 21 April prompted an outpouring of global mourning.
Security guards and Polizia strictly control the queue to see his tomb. On the far side of the street, people dodge cars for a better view of the pilgrims and clergy who have come to pay their respects.
