Tens of thousands of mourners packed The Vatican for the Pope's funeral, with world leaders joining the public and clergy from around the world to pay their final respects in St Peter's Square.
The Pope 's coffin was then driven past Rome's famous landmarks to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a church he loved and where he'd said he wanted to be buried.
Here are some of the key images from the day.
