Pope Benedict XVI "will be missed as a spiritual leader to millions", British Prime Minister David Cameron said Monday following the pontiff's shock resignation.

"I send my best wishes to Pope Benedict following his announcement today. He has worked tirelessly to strengthen Britain's relations with the Holy See," Cameron said in a statement.
