WATCH: Little girl slips through security to share wonderful moment with Pope Francis

Pope Francis made a little girl’s day yesterday with a lovely act of kindness.

The Pope, who is on a visit to the US, was parading down Washington DC’s National Mall when five-year-old Sophie Cruz slipped inside the barriers.

As burly security men tried to move her on from the scene, the pontiff cried out for the girl to be brought over him in the Popemobile. After greeting the Pope with a hug, Sophie presented him with a t-shirt and a drawing she had made for him.
