Pope Francis gets rock star welcome at Lisbon youth jamboree

  • 9 months ago
Hundreds of thousands of chanting and flag-waving worshippers pack out a Lisbon park for a welcome ceremony for Pope Francis at World Youth Day, which is in fact a six-day international Catholic jamboree.

Pilgrims shriek and wave as the 86-year-old pontiff, surrounded by bodyguards, slowly drives by on his popemobile through the 26-hectare (64-acres) hillside Eduardo VII park. Local authorities put the crowd size at 500,000. (Video Courtesy of AFP)
