Pope Francis has released an audio message thanking people across the world for their support after being admitted to hospital on 14 February.
It is the first time the 88-year-old has been heard by the public since entering hospital to be treated for bronchitis, before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.
The short, two-line message, recorded earlier that day from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, was played during a nightly prayer service for the pope in St Peter’s Square at the Vatican.

The Pope has been forced to cancel a number events since his hospitalisation, most recently on Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the six-week period leading up to Easter.
