Pope Francis Remembered as Faithful Throng Pays Last Respects

The doors opened at 5:40 a.m. Friday for Pope Francis' funeral, drawing thousands as he made his final rounds through St. Peter’s Basilica, which was bustling with people paying their respects in the wake of his papacy. By Saturday evening, he was laid to rest in another basilica across town after spending nearly 24 hours here since his death at the Vatican. Among the attendees were locals like Daniela Sirigu, who heard dozens of languages and felt deeply moved by his presence as she stood in line to say goodbye.
