Seven days of mourning has been announced by the government of Argentina to mark the passing of a countryman - Pope Francis.
The 88-year-old suffered a stroke just a day after delivering his traditional Easter Sunday blessing. He'd suffered from ill health for much of the year, spending over a month in hospital following a battle with double pneumonia.
Tributes have been flowing from world leaders for Pope Francis, who was seen as a reformer within the Catholic Church.
He was hailed for work with the poor in the slums of Buenos Aires - but despite undertaking 47 international papal visits - he never returned home to Argentina while Pope.
