'Flash mob' dances for Pope in Rio

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/68991000/jpg/_68991091_68991090.jpgHundreds and thousands of people have performed a "flash mob" dance in Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the biggest-ever Roman Catholic World Youth Day.

Pope Francis is closing the event with a mass on Brazil's Copacabana beach.

Many of the pilgrims had slept on the beach after attending an all-night vigil, which the Pope also led.

Sunday's ceremony marks the end of his first foreign trip since becoming pontiff in March.
