Church bells have rung out across Rome as the funeral service to honour the life of the late pontiff begins.
World leaders have congregated in Rome to attend the funeral and mourn the loss of Pope Francis.
Following a number of days on display at St Peter's Basilica for public viewing, a funeral mass in St Peter's Square to honour the pontiff was attended by leaders from across the world.
The Vatican expected some 250,000 mourners to fill St Peter's Square and main access route to the basilica to follow the ceremony, which was presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.
