Pope consoled PM

I was right:

Mr Cameron missed Benedict XVI's speech to politicians on Friday for the funeral of his father Ian, 77.

But at Birmingham Airport the pair had a private conversation on the tarmac, with the Premier overheard saying: "I've had an extraordinary last few days. It's difficult."

The Pontiff lay a kindly hand on his arm and told him: "You are in our thoughts."

Mr Cameron thanked him and, touching his arm again, Benedict reassured him: "You'll be fine."

The scenes came at the end of the Pope's historic four-day state visit.
