Thousands honor Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica

Thousands of Rome residents gathered at St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday to mourn Pope Francis, whose body lies in state for three days ahead of his funeral on Saturday. Crowds filled the bustling main boulevard near the Vatican as they lined up to pay their respects during warm spring sunshine. The 88-year-old pope, who passed away after suffering a stroke in his Santa Marta guesthouse two days ago, was formally placed in an open coffin at St. Peter's Basilica earlier on Wednesday.
