LIVE: Faithful arrive at the Vatican to see conclave smoke

Views of the Via della Conciliazione, the main street leading to the Vatican, and faithful arrive to see the first smoke.

Black smoke from a chimney on the roof of the chapel will mark an inconclusive vote, while white smoke and the peeling of bells will signal that the 1.4-billion member church has a new leader.
