Former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden arrived at Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City Saturday morning in order to attend Pope Francis’ funeral.
The 82-year-old, who met Pope Francis three times as vice president, held onto his wife and a priest as he cautiously walked down the stairs to the seating area.
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden are not sitting near President Donald Trump as they are not current heads of state. Instead, they are sitting further back in the foreign dignitaries section.
Biden was the second Roman Catholic to serve in the White House, behind John F. Kennedy.
