Pope's Funeral Set for Saturday to Draw a Galaxy of World Leaders

Pope Francis's funeral will be held on Saturday, the Vatican announced, as world leaders from US President Donald Trump to Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky said they would attend to honor the Catholic leader.

The Argentine pontiff, 88, died on Monday from a stroke, less than a month after returning home from five weeks in hospital battling double pneumonia.

His funeral, which is expected to draw huge crowds, will take place at 10.00 am (0800 GMT) on Saturday in the majestic Baroque plaza in front of St Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.
