A storm has forced Pope Francis to cut short his visit to the Philippine city of Tacloban, which was devastated by Typhoon Haiyan just over a year ago.
Amid strong winds and pouring rain, he celebrated Mass with thousands of worshippers earlier on Saturday.
He was due to go on to meet survivors of the typhoon but had to leave early because of worsening conditions.
