Pope's UK visit to involve strict rules for pilgrims

Source: BBC News

The Catholic Church of England and Wales has published a guide for those attending events with the Pope during his visit to the UK next month.

There will be strict controls over what can and cannot be brought into the three large public gatherings in London, Glasgow and Birmingham.

Alcohol, barbecues, gazebos and musical instruments will all be banned as they "could pose a threat to others".

However, picnics, banners and flags will all be allowed.

2. Vuvuzelas are not really a musical instrument

so I guess they could be allowed.
