The aircraft carrying Pope John Paul II touches down at Gatwick Airport 28 May 1982...
...and as tradition dictates he kneels and kisses the tarmac.
His tour of the UK is extensive, though many are only able to catch a glimpse of him in his popemobile, a modified Range Rover...
...but some are lucky to be in the right spot during a walkabout in Westminster, London.
Pope John Paul II is given a warm welcome by the Queen at Buckingham Palace...
...and finds himself on an unfamiliar balcony at Westminster Cathedral.
In Southwark he leads a special mass for the disabled, sick and dying...
...before moving on to greets thousands in Roehampton...
...and then to Manchester where he holds an open air mass at Heaton Park.
Other official engagements include a ceremony with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie (top) in Canterbury itself...
...prior to his last rally, this time for young people at Ninian Park, Cardiff...
...where he bids the UK goodbye.
