School pupils joke with each other as they leave a polling station, as anyone aged over 16 can vote in the Scottish independence referendum, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Thursday, Sept. 18, 2014. Scots held the fate of the United Kingdom in their hands Thursday as they voted in a referendum on becoming an independent state, deciding whether to unravel a marriage with England that built an empire but has increasingly been felt by many Scots as stifling and one-sided.

Father Carmine Leuzzi talks of the upcoming Pope Francis visit in the church of Shen Koll (Saint Nicholas) in Derven village, 32 kilometers (20 miles) north of capital Tirana, Thursday Sept. 18, 2014. The one-room, stone church of St. Nicholas, is particularly poignant: 15 Muslim families chipped in to help rebuild it in a sign of the remarkable coexistence that exists in Albania between Christians and Muslims. Pope Francis will highlight this interfaith harmony when he makes a one-day trip to the Balkan nation on Sunday, holding it up as a model for the Middle East and other parts of the world where Christians are being targeted by Islamic militants.

Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and NO campaigner in Scotland's Independence Referendum meets pupils at Kelty Primary school in Kelty Scotland Friday Sept. 19, 2014.
