Pope blesses Easter crowds from popemobile in first significant appearance since illness

He blessed the thousands of faithful gathered to celebrate Easter Sunday at the Vatican. The 88-year-old pontiff appeared frail as he was wheeled out onto the balcony over the entrance of St Peter’s Basilica, before being driven in the popemobile through the crowds of faithful gathered in St Peter’s Square.
