Pope Francis on Wednesday asked Italian Army officers to remove their Covid masks while they posed for a photograph at the Vatican. 

Pictures show the Pope turning slightly behind him to speak to the Italian Army and telling them to take their masks off. 

Once the masks had been removed the group then faced forward and had their pictures taken during a meeting at the Vatican.   

The officers had arrived at the Vatican for the Pope's weekly general audience at the Paul VI Hall on Wednesday.
