- Story Text: There have been emotional scenes in St Peter's
Square and around Rome as pilgrims say farewell to Pope
John Paul II.
Pilgrims cried and clapped as Pope John Paul was
taken into St. Peter's Basilica for the last time on Friday
(April 8, 2005).
During his almost 3-hour funeral, hundreds of thousands
of people who had crammed into the piazzas and streets
around St. Peter's stood quietly, crossing themselves,
murmuring along with prayers, or crying.
As the funeral began, one young woman from Poland named
Agata said she owed it to the Pope to attend his funeral.
"It's all love, for all the world, and the real peace.
He's everything for me, he's my father, like for everybody
here. I must be here, for him," she said.
Pilgrims who managed to pack into St Peter's Square
appeared very moved by the service. Some took the host when
priests came out into the crowd.
Flags from as far away as Chile and Iraq fluttered over
the crowds, a testimony to the Pope who travelled the world
to visit his flock wherever they were and whoever they
were.
When it ended and the Pope's casket was taken away they
burst into 15 minutes of applause for a man who helped make
history and touched millions personally.
"We just felt we had to be here. We followed the
coverage all week, and we just couldn't stay at home, you
know. When the Pope came to England in 1982, we went to see
him then, and we just thought; 'We've got to be here' and
it was the right thing to do," said a British woman.
Police sources estimated around 300,000 people managed
to get to the Vatican area, only a fraction of the millions
of faithful who had queued for hours earlier in the week to
file past the Pope's body as it lay in state.
Hundreds of thousands of others watched the funeral on
huge television screens set up around Rome.
The Roman Catholic Church now observes a nine-day
period of mourning, starting on Friday. Cardinals will open
a conclave on April 18 to elect a new Pope.
