Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, was pictured standing alongside the body of Pope Francis during the rite of the declaration of death in Santa Marta residence.

The Argentine pontiff died on Monday morning from a stroke, aged 88.

His passing came less than a month after he was admitted from hospital following a five-week battle with double pneumonia.

The Prince of Wales is currently on a short break from royal duties to spend time with his wife and three children during their Easter half-term school break.
