Bah, I see the pupils at my old school got today off because of the Pope's funeral. I don't think we got that in October 1978.

Here. Not totally sure that the guy listed opposite Cardinal Schönborn is really in the running...

All the flags are at half mast - dead Pope.

Thanks, everyone, for your earlier comments.

Three best commentaries on the Pope, from quite different directions: Scots leftie of Hebridean evangelical background links also to famous dissident Catholic theologian; meanwile habseligkeit has a working journalist's perspective.

I hope they taped Doctor Who for me back at home.
