Mourners bid farewell to Pope Francis in a funeral that highlighted his concern for the 'most peripheral of the peripheries.'

The bells of St. Peter’s Basilica tolled to mark the end of the funeral Mass in Vatican City, where mourners joined in a final send-off for a pontiff celebrated as a champion of the poor.

Before scores of world leaders and Roman Catholic officials on Saturday, Pope Francis was laid to rest in a funeral mass live-streamed to the world less than a week after the pontiff died of a stroke and heart failure at 88.
