LIVE: Pope Francis' coffin transferred to St Peter's Basilica
The coffin containing the body of Pope Francis is being transferred from Casa Santa Marta to St Peter's Basilica. Upon arrival at St Peter's, the church's camerlengo will preside the Liturgy of the Word and the public visit to the Pope's body will start.
The same official takes over the day-to-day running of the Vatican as the Pope’s body lies in state, dressed in pontifical vestments for three days at St Peter’s basilica before his funeral in St Peter’s Square.
