Long queues for farewell to the late Benedict XVI, who has been laid out for three days in St. Peter’s

The late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI lies in state in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. For the next three days, people can walk past the body of the abdicated pope to say goodbye and pay his last respects. That already causes long queues in the Vatican on day one. People were waiting even before the sun came up.
