Late Lech Kaczynski to lie in state on Tuesday
Late Polish President Lech Kaczynski will lie in state on Tuesday, allowing Poles to pay personal tribute to the leader who died in a plane crash with his wife and dozens of nation’s other top officials.
According to local officials, Tuesday has been chosen in order to give the presidential office more time to prepare for the public memorial ceremonies.
Hundreds of thousands of Poles went out in the streets of Warsaw on Sunday in order to pay tribute to Lech Kaczynski, whose coffin was transported from the military airport to the Presidential Palace.
