As the world watches the press conference with baited breath, there is only one step left before the Mission commences.

The Pope himself blesses the SP and HRH Royal Scottish Tartan Army and wishes them the very best of luck for their Iraqi Garden Party Secret Mission.

(Note the SP is in disguise in an alluring red leather mask as she has no wish to be recognized and then no doubt hounded and harrassed by all the various paparazzi, many of whom attended the final honorable papal blessing in the hope of catching that one off guard award winning shot of the SP relaxing at home with her good friend, the Pope, after the formalities are over.)
