Tony Blair 'could accompany the Pope for part of his trip'

UPDATE: A spokesman for Tony Blair has confirmed that the former Prime Minister will be meeting the Holy Father at Westminster Hall and not at the meeting of religious leaders in Twickenham.

Tony Blair is scheduled to meet Benedict XVI next week to discuss interreligious dialogue.

Although the date and time of their meeting isn’t known, it’s possible the former Prime Minister will join religious leaders when they meet the Holy Father next Friday at St Mary’s College in Twickenham. Some reports say he will also accompany the Pope for some of his trip.
