Pope Francis delighted an adoring crowd with his popemobile procession in Washington.
The pope moved slowly past throngs lining his route from the White House, waving from an outfitted Jeep that is open on the sides.
At one point, a young girl carrying a yellow banner got outside the police barricade holding the crowds back and tried to approach the popemobile.
She shied back when a bodyguard came near to pick her up and bring her to Francis.
But then the pope gestured to her to come to him, and she allowed the bodyguard to pick her up and bring her to Francis for a papal kiss and blessing.
