Pope Francis laid to rest in a pared-back ceremony in front of 200,000 mourners | ABC NEWS
A final tribute to Pope Francis has brought together world leaders, royals and refugees in a funeral service that called on humanity to build bridges and not walls.
Hundreds of thousands gathered in Rome for the ceremony steeped in tradition, faith and his characteristic humility.
The late pontiff opted for a pared-back ceremony, asking to be laid to rest in a simple wooden casket.
