The Pope Is Due To Return To The Vatican After Spending Over 5 Weeks In Hospital

The 88-year-old will be discharged from hospital today.

Pope Francis has waved to crowds from the window of the hospital where he's been treated for double pneumonia.

It's his first live public appearance since being admitted five weeks ago.

The 88-year-old is being discharged today and is heading back to the Vatican to 'rest and recover' for at least 2 months.

These people have been gathering in St Peter's Square to welcome him home.
