As part of the Share the Journey Campaign, Cafod and Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) have left hundreds of shoes outside Westminster Cathedral to highlight the plight of refugees.

Pope Francis is using the campaign to urge world leaders to back the rights of refugees, and about 40,000 Catholics have walked the equivalent of four times round the world in solidarity.

Supporters hope a global agreement on refugees will be signed at the UN General Assembly in New York on September 18.
