Over 50 heads of state, 10 monarchs and at least 130 foreign delegations will attend St. Peter’s Square tomorrow
Incredible is the cosmos of believers from all over the world to the Vatican in order to pay tribute to the deceased Pope Francis, just hours before the popular pilgrimage to his body.
According to the Vatican data, until this morning they have paid tribute to the scene of the deceased Pontiff more than 128,000 faithful and crowds are constantly arriving.
Up to 450,000 faithful from all over the world – nearly half a million people – are expected to reach the eternal city for the funeral of Pope Francis.
According to the design, St. Peter’s Basilica will remain open until 7pm, after an hour later, the ceremony for the closure of the wooden coffin will take place.
However, due to the high volume of pilgrims, the extension of the popular pilgrimage is examined, at least for an hour.
Meanwhile, from noon today, international leaders who will attend the funeral of the deceased Pontiff and security measures in the area around St. Peter are draconian, with drones, free -shooters on the roofs and fighters.
More than 1,000 police officers have been developed in the Vatican to conduct intensive checks.
“UN” tomorrow the funeral of the Pontiff
More than 50 heads of state and 10 monarchs will attend the Saturday ceremony at St. Peter’s Square, including US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski, who are expected to arrive in Rome today.
At least 130 foreign delegations are expected at the funeral of Pontiff, including Argentine President Javier Miley and Prince William of Britain. Also, a ban on flight zone will be put into effect.
US President Donald Trump said yesterday that “he would like to see all the leaders who will come to the Italian capital.”
This morning, however, his official program was announced by the White House, which does not mention any official, bilateral meeting.
