King Charles and Pope exchange gifts and pray together for first time - follow live The pair join a service in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel in a symbolic display of unity between the Catholic Church and the Church of England.

Warmth of #unity in Christ and care for God’s world.

This ‘seat’ is indeed ‘special’. It will be permanently in the basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls, & will be a key symbol.
