WYD08 Day 3 photo highlights VIII (July 17,2008) - Pope attracted thousands in his motorcade

373

Pope Benedict XVI has toured Sydney’s streets in his popemobile after leading a service for 150,000 World Youth Day pilgrims. A 20-deep crowd cheered and waved, pressing close to the barricades as the popemobile drove slowly past under showers of confetti. The smiling, waving pontiff sat in the back of the vehicle, flanked by security guards on foot, as pilgrims sat on each other’s shoulders to get a glimpse of the holy father, extending their cameras to capture the moment. The popemobile is the centrepiece of a 20-vehicle motorcade, which wound its way from Barangaroo at East Darling Harbour, around the foreshore and past the Royal Botanic Gardens before delivering the Pope back to St Mary’s cathedral.
