Pope Francis I first stumble: Pope Francis takes a tumble in mass for cardinals but recovers to joke he is ‘ageing like a fine wine’. Being thrust into the world spotlight is a daunting experience and it looked like Pope Francis’ nerves may have got the better of him as he tripped up during Mass this this morning.

The 76-year-old stumbled while stepping down from the altar to greet the cardinals – it looked like his left shoe had become entangled in his flowing white robe.

He quickly regained his footing, but not before his trip was captured for the world to see.
