April 22 (UPI) -- The funeral of the late Pope Francis will take place in St. Peter's Square on Saturday morning with his body lying in state for three days in the run-up to the mass, the Vatican said Tuesday.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, dean of the College of Cardinals, will preside at the funeral of Francis, who died Monday aged 88, assisted by Patriarchs, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and priests from across the Catholic global community, the Vatican said in a news release.
Many world leaders, their representatives and other dignitaries are expected to travel to Rome for the funeral, which is expected to be watched by a global audience of millions.
U.S. President Donald Trump has already confirmed he will attend along with first lady Melania Trump
