"French cardinal Roger Etchegaray (top) is embraced by one of a group of Orthodox priests before the funeral of Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican April 8, 2005."
Not just priests, probably a Patriarch or Archbishop and some Metropolitans.

I was very moved by the presence of EVERY Patriarch of Christendom joining the funeral mass. But they were also wearing their full dress, including tiaras. By their plain black vestments, I believe the priests in the photo were (pardon the use of the word) "mere" priests.
