The funeral of Pope Francis recently took place in the Vatican, where world leaders and thousands of people attended the service in St Peter's Square to pay their respects.

Pope Francis was an important figure for approximately 1.4 billion Roman Catholics around the world, serving as a direct link to Jesus in their faith.

He passed away at the age of 88 on Easter Monday, following a period of ill health.

During the funeral service, eulogies were given by various world leaders and Prince William was present on behalf of King Charles along with many other individuals who had gathered to say their farewells.

The funeral ceremony was broadcast globally, and the event was simpler compared to those of previous popes as per Pope Francis' own request.

Following the funeral, Pope Francis' coffin was taken through the streets of Rome to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where he wanted to be buried.

This departure from the tradition saw Francis becoming the first Pope in over a century to be buried outside the Vatican.

Now that the funeral is concluded, the process of electing the next Pope will begin, with a mourning period known as Novemdiales starting in memory of Pope Francis.
