STORYLINE:
Pope John Paul II, the Polish pontiff who led the Roman Catholic Church for more than a quarter century and became history's most-travelled pope, died on Saturday in his Vatican apartment. He was 84.
Bells tolled at the Vatican and across Rome, and Vatican, Italian and European Union flags were being lowered to half-mast across the capital.
The crowd of 70 thousand people gathered in Saint Peter's Square listened to the bells in silence. Some cried, other kept praying their rosaries.
The pope died after suffering heart and kidney failure following two hospitalisations in as many months. Just a few hours earlier, the Vatican had said he was in "very serious" condition but had responded to members of the papal household.
