The bells of St. Peter’s Basilica rang in mourning as the body of Pope Francis was carried from his Santa Marta residence, through the gateway of the basilica in a simple wooden coffin that the late pontiff wished to be buried in. The procession was led by various cardinals to Saint Peter’s Basilica, where his body will lie in state, so that thousands of catholics and well wishers can pay their respects before the funeral on Saturday, reports Seema Gupta from Rome.
