A military officer salutes as Pope John Paul II's body is carried through St. Peter's Square and into St Peter's Basilica for public viewing, Monday April 4 2005, four days before his remains will be entombed in the grotto below the church. With tens of thousands of mourners outside hoping for a glimpse of the body, 12 pallbearers flanked by Swiss Guards carry the late pontiff's body on a crimson platform from the Sala Clementina, where it had laid in state since Sunday.(AP Photo/Massimo Sambucetti)
