The Meeting Of The 4 Popes As More Than 1 million fill St Peter's Square To Witness Pope Francis and retired Benedict XVI Make saints of John XXIII and John Paul II

Hundreds of thousands of people today filled St Peter's Square at the Vatican for a historic day involving four popes and i wasnt they, anywaay I watched on cable network.
In the presence of retired Pope Benedict XVI, Francis declared John XXIII and John Paul II saints - in the first canonisation of two pontiffs.
Benedict, now aged 87, was sitting off to the side with other cardinals in the square during the rite at the start of Sunday's Mass.
Italian officials predicted 1million were watching the Mass from the square, the streets surrounding it and nearby piazzas where TV screens were set up.. more photos after the cut..
