The College of Cardinals will gather in the Vatican 's Sistine Chapel to cast votes to choose the next pope.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols will vote with more than 100 others, but almost missed out as he is only a few months off his 80th birthday, the age limit for voting rights.

The Merseyside-born Archbishop of Westminster said he thought it would "pass me by" until he heard the Pope was seriously ill.
