How do you see the Pope?

So the Pope is coming back to UK shores.
Not the nice one - it's the new fella probably coming to sell a bit of art. The ex-Hitler Youth not the ex-goalie.
And it's for the first time since 1982. I remember seeing JP2 on that visit having been shepherded into the Knavesmire pens.
I was near the back but he did a full drive past in his bulletproof papal car - the Pope mobile. On his several swings past my pen, I had to choose how to view him. With my unholily naked eyes or with my souvenir lensed cardboard tube which was my Papal viewing device. Its name... and I love this branding so much that I still have it.
What else? The Pope Scope!
