Pope Benedict Bids Crowd Farewell

 Today the first pope to abdicate in six centuries bid farewell to around 150,000 people packed into ST Peter's square in Rome.



The Pope officially steps down today as cardinals prepare to choose his successor.
He is then expected to be flown by helicopter to his new summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo south of the Italian capital.
