Pope Francis' coffin was transported from the Vatican through the streets of Rome to be buried at Santa Maria Maggiore basilica.

The Pope was buried at the church following his funeral in the Vatican.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who led the funeral service, said the Pope "touched minds and hearts" and wanted to "build bridges, not walls".

Dozens of leaders and dignitaries - including Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Prince William - joined an estimated 400,000 mourners who lined the streets of Rome and gathered inside St Peter's Square itself.
