World reaction to death of Pope

Pope John Paul II has died at the age of 84, ending one of the longest papacies in history.

Here are reactions from around the world following the announcement of the pontiff's death.

We all feel like orphans this evening.

Vatican Undersecretary of State Archbishop Leonardo Sandri

I was deeply saddened by the death of Pope John Paul II.

Quite apart from his role as a spiritual guide to more than a billion men, women and children, he was a tireless advocate of peace, a true pioneer in interfaith dialogue and a strong force for critical self-evaluation by the Church itself.

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan

The world has lost a religious leader who was "revered across people of all faiths and none."

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair

This mourning deeply marks France as well as every French person, who identifies with the message of the Catholic Church.

French President Jacques Chirac

The angels welcome you.

Vatican TV

Regards, Ivan
