VATICAN CITY (AP) — Three days of public viewing of Pope Francis’ body by ordinary mourners and statesmen alike have ended and the pontiff’s coffin sealed. Francis died on Monday at age 88 after suffering a stroke. The Vatican said Friday that around 250,000 mourners filed through St. Peter’s Basilica over the three days to pay their last respects as Francis lay in state in a simple wooden coffin. Hundreds of disappointed people were turned away when authorities closed St. Peter’s Square hours before the viewing period ended. Francis will be buried after a funeral Mass on Saturday.
