Positive steps for Pope Francis, following his five-week battle with double pneumonia. 

The 88-year-old's been discharged from hospital back to his Vatican residence -- thanking onlookers from his balcony. 

UK/ Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens further details of The Pope's hospital condition have emerged upon his release. 

He says it's been confirmed Pope Francis suffered two significant medical episodes, where his life was in danger. 

Pope Francis will now take a two-month break from duties, under strict doctor's orders.
