[Misc] Pope Francis RIP - New Pope Elected 08/05

[Hometownglory]

Prince William managed to get a ticket for the funeral, I notice.

Maybe he missed out on a Villa ticket for Wembley, so he decided to head to Rome instead.

In all seriousness, it's quite a sight.

I bet he's gutted with the clash of events. If I were him, I'd put my funeral ticket on the exchange.

Inconveniently, our tour of the Vatican has been canceled due to this.

He’ll be back in London for ko

Crowds gathering where the procession is supposed to end in a couple of hours.

As a Catholic, this week has been a mixture of emotions……genuine sadness, thanks for the life of a wonderful human being and pride at the way in which the Church has organised everything. The funeral has been beautiful so far, the music in particular.

Bit much, those people holding up “Francis can I have your shirt?” signs

Can't remember why I was in Rome recently, but did the tour of the Vatican. Just WOW.

This is The Pope. One of the most important figures in the world. I too am a little disappointed at the way this thread has gone. The Queen had similar coverage on foreign TV.

We were in France when the Queen died. One channel covered everything, from Balmoral, to her body, being moved to Edinburgh, laying in state at Westminster etc.

Including a live televised address by Macron on the day she died.

Anyone know the list of runners and riders for a name sweepstake?

Us Seagulls get everywhere. Watching news coverage of what coloured smoke will emerge from the chimney I see Seagulls on the roof watching over the Papal election.

Awesome.

These fan clubs are getting out of hand, now

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Watch them live

Typical. Now it’s 8 o’clock in Rome the Seagulls have left before the match has ended. Flipping early leavers.

Must be part of the East stand mob

You're actually watching it ? Sad
Until they appoint a woman Pope (never going to happen) and allow Catholic Priests to marry, thus hopefully stopping the children abuse, then I would be happy. How many of their flock at Sunday masses worldwide are married ?

I'm well into my 80's so this could be the last Papal election I see. Each to their own but quite understand its not for you.

Couple of photos I took day before the AS Roma game ...
