Pope Francis' coffin has been entombed.

The Pope's final resting place is the Basilica of St. Mary Major in central Rome.

Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets to watch as his coffin was brought from the Vatican to the Basilica.

The Pope is the first in over a century to be buried outside the Vatican, and his entombment was a private event, allowing for those closest to him to pay their respects.

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Pope Francis' tomb in a niche in the Basilica of St. Mary Major can now be visited by the faithful, as the Church commemorates the late Pope with the second day of the Novemdiales, or 'nine days' of mourning.

Your PhD is the foundations and is the building blocks to future research

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but your PhD doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be finished.

This afternoon Ben Obese-Jecty MP was granted permission to present a bill in line with the Ten Minute Rule Bill: ⚜️Interpersonal abuse and violence against men and boys (strategy). ⚜️

The bill passed and will get a second reading now on Friday 16th May.

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:

"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

@ThePhDPlace Over coming the hurdles and the self doubt at times was hard. But I have submitted and I am super excited for the overall examination. Keep going one sentence after another and you will get there

[Lady_Isles @NarissaMatthews]

The journey is an emotional rollercoaster but so worth the ride. The one piece of advice I can give is keep going but listen to your body take breaks and it’s ok to cry.

What are the biggest challenges you face day-to-day as a PhD student?

[Lady_Isles @NarissaMatthews]

Just type until you can’t type no more. Maybe only a few sentences will be of use … BUT you will have made a start and that is a few sentences more than you had when procrastinating.

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

What is your number one tip for combating procrastination?

[Lady_Isles @NarissaMatthews]

@Maz_Idriss @CPSUK @ukhomeoffice @PoliceChiefs I look forward to hearing this.

[Lady_Isles @NarissaMatthews]

@Maz_Idriss I would be interested in reading these if possible. “honour suicide” is an area I touched on within my PhD
