A Polish pilgrim covers his head with a Solidarity banner while waiting to enter Saint Peter's Basilica to pay his respects to the late Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, April 7, 2005.
The funeral of Pope John Paul on Friday will draw the biggest gathering of the powerful and the humble in modern times. Four kings, five queens, at least 70 presidents and prime ministers and more than 14 leaders of other religions will attend alongside what the Vatican expects will be two million faithful; the largest number of pilgrims to converge on St. Peter's Square in its history.
