Pope Francis' Journey from Rome to Kenya in pictures

Nairobi, Kenya: Kenyans welcomed the Pope with song, dance as President Uhuru Kenyatta led Government, diplomats and religious leaders in receiving him.

His plane touched down shortly at 4.30pm, ahead of schedule, via an Alitalia flight with Kenyan and Vatican flag fluttering amid ululations and Christian choruses from dozens of faithful and elated citizens who wanted to catch a glimpse of him.
