Thousands of pilgrims queue outside Saint Peter's Basilica to see the late Pope John Paul laying in state at the Vatican April 5, 2005. Up to two million people are expected for the funeral on Friday as well as almost 200 world leaders in an unprecedented salute for a pontiff who helped bring down the Iron Curtain and stamped an uncompromising orthodoxy on his own faith.
