Pilgrims flock to Benedict's concluding mass

Catholic young people who camped out all night in an enormous field welcomed Pope Benedict XVI today as he arrived for the concluding Mass of his four-day trip to Germany – his first foreign trip as pontiff.

He was driven to the altar overlooking the Marienfeld, or Mary’s Field, in Cologne in his tall, glassed-in popemobile to the sound of hymns as thousands of priests lined up to assist in the service.
