Yes, though the pope's hat thingy disappeared for a while and I was afraid it might have fallen foul to a sort of Scottish kamikaze (god wind : -) The lack of a red carpet was an intentional slap on his red shoes (though they put that down to the wind as well) and while he presented comrade Elizabeth with an 8th century copy of the gospels we gave him a little facsimile of something or other. Nah... that wasn't really a slight, just a gentle reminder of who's boss over here.
Has he been arrested yet by the way?
