Pope Francis has been buried at Santa Maria Maggiore basilica following his funeral in the Vatican.

Pope Francis "touched minds and hearts" and wanted to "build bridges, not walls", said Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who led the funeral service.

Dozens of leaders and dignitaries - including Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Prince William - joined an estimated 400,000 mourners who lined the streets of Rome and gathered inside St Peter's Square itself.

Trump and Zelensky met inside St Peter's Basilica before the funeral - Zelensky says the meeting "has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results".

The Ukrainians also released a picture of Trump and Zelensky in conversation with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron.
