World mourns death of the people’s pope
- World mourns death of the people’s pope: He has been remembered as the “People’s Pope” – the first pontiff from the Americas or the Southern Hemisphere who became a “rare leader who made us want to be better people”.
- Pope Francis, who died aged 88 on Easter Monday just a day after greeting crowds in Vatican City, drew moving tributes for his strong advocacy for the poor and marginalised.
