commentary: the body of pope paul was brought to his penultimate resting place in saint peter's where it will remain lying in state until the burial on saturday. (12 august)
thousands of people are pouring into the vatican city in preparation for the funeral service.
in the grottoes deep below saint peter's are the tombs of past leaders of the roman catholic church. it is here that five craftsmen, under the supervision of a bishop, are toiling to prepare a white marble tomb for the late pontiff.
the tomb where paul will be buried is in a niche that was once a tiny chapel.
pope paul himself chose and designed the tomb four years ago.
