The Vatican has announced the death of Pope Francis. 

He was 88 years old and passed away at 6.35 this morning (Irish time).

He appeared in public, just yesterday, greeting crowds on Easter Sunday.

The pontiff, who was Bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church, became Pope in 2013.

The process for choosing a new pope, generally takes place between 15 and 20 days after the death of a pontiff.
