Pope Francis grants boy's wish with popemobile ride

Pope Francis has granted a child cancer survivor's wish by meeting him, and letting him ride on the popemobile.

Peter Lombardi, 12, was visiting the Vatican with his family and watching the Pope when a security guard lifted him over the railing so he could get a kiss.

While receiving chemotherapy in hospital, Peter, who lives in the US, saw the Pope on television and said he wanted to meet him.
