00:00British consciousness?

00:02Well, I think it's been pretty well covered and very generously,

00:05and it's difficult to sort of, you know, nothing's jumped out of the page,

00:10as it were, sort of, you know, God hasn't been said.

00:12But I think, you know, one of the extraordinary things,

00:15and I obviously experienced it at a personal level,

00:18is how Francis, despite being a huge global spiritual figure

00:24who spoke truth to power, who met all sorts of heads of state,

00:30there's so many, so many personal anecdotes of individuals

00:36who were touched by him on an individual basis.

00:40And I speak to you as someone who had that experience

00:42because on my 40th anniversary, I went with my wife

00:46and I had a kind of private audience with him.

00:49And I'll never forget, he took our hands and just looked at us

00:56with that extraordinary face of his, which, full of light,

01:00full of engagement, full of compassion.

01:03And he just asked us straight away, which of you has been most patient?

01:09Well, I mean, what kind of better phrase to address to anyone

01:14who's been married with all its ups and downs

01:17to ask which of you has been more patient?

01:20Which left both my wife and I absolutely gobsmacked.

01:23And, of course, we were both sort of trying to point at each other

01:26in a moment of generosity, which, obviously, he wanted to elicit from us.

01:32But you have a lot of those stories, you know.

01:35He was particularly good with kids.

01:38I was once with him holding a baby because I was in the front row

01:42and there was a parent with a baby 20 rows behind

01:46who'd been throwing the baby almost like a kind of basket

01:50over the heads of everyone.

01:51Finally, it landed in my arms just at the moment

01:55when Pope Francis was going past.

01:57And I held the baby up and he ordered the Popemobile to stop

02:01and he leaned over and he just touched the baby on the head

02:06and I could see the faces of his parents sort of registering this moment

02:12as something that they would never forget.

02:14Yeah, it's incredible.

02:15And, Jimmy, we're now seeing this adapted Popemobile

02:19moving through the streets of Rome.

02:22And, Caroline, as you're just hearing from Jimmy

02:25about how this Pope had a particularly special connection with people,

02:30it's no surprise to see the police having to line these streets

02:34to hold back these deep crowds.

02:37No, it's not.

02:38And when Jimmy said this was very reminiscent

02:42of the late Princess of Wales, Diana,

02:45that was the exact same thought came into my head

02:49watching this footage.

02:52And it's actually very new because this is the first Pope

02:57to be buried outside of the Vatican in 120 years.

03:03And it seems strangely moving and fitting,

03:08even though it's outside of Vatican protocols,

03:11because normally what happens is we have the papal funeral

03:14and then the burial is always a very quiet and private affair.

03:19I mean, the Vatican does normally release pictures afterwards

03:21and I should imagine that they,

03:23although the internment in St Mary Major will itself be private,

03:27I imagine that they...
