WYD2008 WEEK

The Pope arriving for the Papal Mass

WYD2008

Today saw the end of a very successful World Youth Day week, even the rain stayed away giving the Pilgrims a great opportunity to move around Sydney, and enjoy and take part on the great number of activities planned for them, giving many the chance to make new friends, many of which will last for many years to come.

I was sent quite a number of photos that were taken early this morning, just as a lot of the Pilgrims were waking up, after having "Slept under the stars" the previous night, the sky was overcast, and that kept the overnight temperatures, just a little less cold, that would have been otherwise.

An estimated 500,000 people attended the final Mass this morning

Madrid in Spain will be the venue for the next WYD in 3 years time
