The funeral of former Pope Benedict XVI was led by current Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. It is the first occasion in modern times that a pope has presided over his predecessor’s funeral. Benedict, the first pontiff in almost 600 years to resign his position, rather than hold office for life, died aged 95 on December 31 at a monastery in Vatican City. CNN’s Delia Gallagher reports.
