Lord Provost offers condolences on the death of Pope Francis 

The Right Honourable Lord Lieutenant and Lord Provost of the City of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, Robert Aldridge, expresses condolences on behalf of the city.

He said:

It is with deep sadness that the City of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ extends its heartfelt condolences to all those in the Catholic Church, both here at home and across the world, on the passing of Pope Francis. He was a powerful voice for compassion, equality, and our shared humanity. I know many of our residents will come together in mourning and reflection during this time of great loss.

Alongside Council Leader Jane Meagher, I have written to the Archbishop of St Andrews and ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to offer our sympathies.
