As the Pope made an address nearby, he decided to capture the stunning image on his camera.
But it was only when Mr Key, 48, and his wife Susan, 44, returned home and and downloaded their photographs that they noticed a strange apparition in the picture.
An apparition? Andy Key's image of a 'guardian angel' above the heads of other visitors to St Peter's Basilica
They were amazed to see what looked like the image of a guardian angel above the heads of other visitors to St Peter's Basilica.
Mr Key, from March, Cambridgeshire, said: "It looks like an angel hovering on the people's heads.
"No-one can explain it - there's nothing on their heads for the light to bounce off."
Mr Key went on the holiday to mark his retirement from his job as a police constable for Cambridgeshire Police.
He and his wife, a medical secretary, were looking around the famous church when they noticed a large group of people and realised the Pope was making an address nearby.
"I was taking pictures of all the things around us and saw this huge window with the light streaming through and thought it looked beautiful," he explained.
"I snapped the picture and didn't noticed anything until I got home.
"It looks almost like a hologram. I thought it was really spooky."
