Prayer services are taking place around the world in memory of Pope Francis. 

The head of the Catholic Church died overnight at the age of 88, following a stroke, coma, and subsequent heart failure after a battle with double pneumonia. 

Vatican correspondent Edward Pentin says two weeks of rituals and ceremonies are now underway. 

He told Mike Hosking that will begin with nine days of mourning.
