Pope Francis loses hat in windy Manila

A gust of wind blew the Pope's hat off as he arrived at Manila airport on Thursday.

Pope Francis was beginning his five-day visit to the nation's 80 million Roman Catholics.

Huge crowds were gathered for his arrival, and are expected at each stage of the tour which will include a Mass in the capital and a visit to typhoon-hit Tacloban.

He is the the fourth pontiff to visit the Philippines.
