New Pope elected by papal conclave with white smoke seen on second day

The papal conclave in the Vatican has chosen the new Pope as white smoke has been seen billowing out from the Sistine Chapel.

A bell has also rung out to mark the election as there was an eruption of applause while people could be heard cheering.

We now await the big reveal of the new Pope’s identity from the balcony of St Peter’s.

Voting ballots are burned with chemicals added in a special furnace to ensure the colour signals the correct result.
