The bells of St. Peter’s Basilica tolled to mark the end of the funeral of Pope Francis in Vatican City, where throngs of mourners had gathered to give a final send-off to a pontiff who was celebrated during the service as a champion of migrants and the poor.

An estimated 250,000 people filled St. Peter’s Square and beyond to pay their final respects at the funeral Mass for Pope Francis, who died on Monday at 88.
