The Catholic Church's cardinals on Tuesday are holding their last talks, both at their final general congregation and informally in the corridors of the Vatican, before the Conclave to elect Pope Francis's successor starts on Wednesday.
All 133 of the cardinal electors who are taking part in the Conclave are in Rome and the Sistine Chapel is ready to host the election of the 267th pontiff.
Francis died on April 21, Easter Monday, at the age of 88 after 12 years at the helm of the Church.
