* Pope Francis appeared before thriving crowds on the balcony of St.Peter's Basilica at 7pm GMT
* He is the first non-European Pope and also the first Jesuit Pope having spent his life in Argentinian capital
The new Pope has been unveiled as Argentine Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, who will take the name Pope Francis I.
The 76-year-old was welcomed by tens of thousands of overjoyed Catholics in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City after his election was revealed this afternoon at 6pm GMT when white smoke poured out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.
Pope Francis becomes the first South American Pontiff and the first Jesuit to hold the title.
His South American origin - also making him the first non-European Pope - is a significant move for the Church, taking the Papacy to a continent in which 42 per cent of the world's Catholics live.
Known as an avid reformer, he becomes the third non-Italian Pope in a row, having being born and spent his life in the Argentinian capital.
