Cameras catch a glimpse of the Ratzinger brothers—who now use walkers June 2, 2014

From the German newspaper Bild: 

On the head, a white cap against the Roman spring sun, a walker in front of him: The Lord in the white cassock is Joseph Ratzinger (87), our Emeritus Benedict XVI. For the first time, there are photos that show the Holy Father retired with a walker.

Together with his brother George (90), which has long been dependent on the auxiliary vehicle, Benedict enjoys a bit of fresh air on the terrace of his age seat of the monastery Mater Ecclesiae.
