Francis greets faithful at Cenacle before ending trip

Scratch that last post. The mass has ended but Pope Francis returns to the Cenacle, now back in white robes, to shake hands with priests, nuns, prelates and others.

Each one takes turns thanking the pope for visiting, and he is treated to a round of applause.

Francis seems to be in a jolly mood, joking with people as he makes his way down a line, giving the event an intimate feel.
