Around 1,500 pilgrims arrived at the village of Walsingham in Norfolk.
The day began with songs of praise and the enthronement of the Divine Mercy image.
A special intention was to pray for the forthcoming papal visit and a special union of prayer was extended to the Holy Father.
Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament followed during which pilgrims prayed intently in silence.
Mgr Keith Barltrop, national co-ordinator for Divine Mercy in Britain, then gave a talk on "God's Mercy, Help of the World", drawing people's attention to trust in God's mercy and to proclaim it by the witness of our lives.
