White smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney has announced to the world that cardinals gathered inside have elected a new Pope to head the Catholic Church.
Crowds in St Peter's Square cheered and bells rang out as the smoke appeared.
The name of the new Pope is expected to be announced shortly.
He will replace Pope Benedict XVI, who stepped down last month saying he was no longer strong enough to lead the Church.
