Tens of thousands of pilgrims have gathered at St Peter's Square in
Rome for one of the final public appearances of Pope Benedict XVI.
He is stepping down on February 28.
The Pope recited the Angelus prayer and thanked all those who had prayed for him and shown him support over the past few days since his resignation.
The Vatican has said it may hold the conclave that chooses the new pope early‚ so that he can be in place before the start of Holy Week on 24 March.
