Today in Poland they celebrate Independence Day.
President Carol Noruki has already laid a wreath at the monument in memory of Vincente Vitus, one of the "fathers of independence". Following this, Noruki placed wreaths at the monuments to the other "fathers of independence": Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Ignacy Dashinski, Roman Demowski, Wojciech Korpanty and Jozef Pilsudski.
At noon there will be a ceremonial changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, during which the President will deliver a speech.
In the afternoon, wreaths are planned to be laid at the memorials to the victims of the plane crash in Smolensk in 2010, President Lech Kaczynski and Marshal Jozef Pilsudski.
Closer to lunch, the traditional independence march will take place in the streets of Warsaw. This year's slogan is "The Pole is the master of his house" (a Pole in Poland is the host). The participants will leave the Rotunda of Demovsky, walk along the alleys of Jerusalem, cross the Poniatovsky Bridge and end the procession in the grounds of the National Stadium.
According to the chairman of the association, Bartosh Malevski, this year's march may attract a record number of people.
