Here in Rome, we close one of the most remarkable chapters in the papacy’s 2,000-year history.Inside St Peter's Square below me, dozens of world leaders will be joined by those who live on the streets, and by migrants who crossed the Mediterranean to reach Italy.
We're broadcasting from the roof of a former convent which Pope Francis converted into a hostel for the homeless.
Just alongside our little pop-up studio here, a group of those homeless people are having their breakfast and watching the television, seeing images of thousands of people pouring into this square, waiting to see the cavalcades as world leaders arrive.
The funeral of the man they called the People’s Pope is bringing together many of the world's most powerful with some of the most marginalised.
