Cameron: A great honour for our country
The prime minister issues an official welcome to the Papal delegation:
“I’d like to offer Pope Benedict a very warm welcome to Britain.
“This is the first ever Official Papal Visit to these shores. And it’s a great honour for our country.
“These will be a very special four days not just for our six million Catholics but for many people of faith right across Britain, and millions more watching around the world.
“Not everyone will agree with everything that the Pope says. But that should not prevent us from acknowledging that the Pope’s broader message can help challenge us to ask searching questions about our society.”
