Vatican City: Some 100,000 faithful were heading for St Peter’s Basilica where late pope Francis’s body was lying in state Wednesday, police said. St. Peter’s Square continues to fill up minute by minute with the influx of faithful from Via della Conciliazione and other nearby streets heading to the basilica for the last homage to Francis.
According to Ansa News Agency, informal estimates by the security service in the square suggest that there are no more than 100,000 people present at the moment.
