This is just a short video of the moment that myself and another pilgrim from the Hexham and Newcastle group were lucky enough to be within yards of Pope Benedict XVI as he drove through the streets of Madrid:
We were simply spending some free time walking around the shops near our hotel when we made a decision about which street to follow next and thankfully for us it was a very lucky decision. Half way along the street we chose we wondered why crowds were gathering and quickly realised after over hearing a conversation that the Pope was soon to be driving along that road as he left the Seminary. Sure enough, within 30 minutes we were able to share this moment with the many other pilgrims lining the streets and it's certainly an experience that I will never forget.
