The coffin of Pope Francis was sealed in St Peter’s Basilica as he is being laid to rest this morning.
The three-day viewing period ended at around 7 pm on Friday, signalled by a changing of the guards at the pontiff’s open coffin.
Thousands of people had lined up to see the pope lying in state, and the Vatican had extended the basilica’s opening hours, welcoming visitors to pay their respects throughout the night due to the higher-than-expected turnout.
