We have a pope

He will be in the Room of Tears now. Emotional. Praying.
Trying on one set (out of three set aside) of papal robes and selecting one box containing new shoes out of the half dozen sizes awaiting the wearer.

People are rushing into St Peters’s Square, some of them vaulting over barriers. The crowds are cheering and clapping and the great bells of the Basilica are tolling.

There is practically a stampede of thousands of people heading into the square, many of them running. Loud cheering, applause, people excited to get as close as they can to St Peters’s Basilica.

The church bells went crazy just now here in Spain. For a moment I wondered why, then realised there must be a new Pope!
