Line To Presidential Palace

Warsaw, Poland

Thousands of grieving mourners from across the country wait in a long line to pay their final respects to the bodies of Polish president Lech Kaczynski and first lady Maria Kaczynska (they were among 96 people killed on Sat. April 10, in a plane crash in western Russia).
They rest inside Warsaw's Presidential Palace until they're moved to Krakow for a State Funeral on Sunday.
The line swelled to over half a mile (1 kilometer) long and it takes around 12 hours to get inside. It's devided into segments of 30 people each.

A 12 hour line outside and probably a few brief seconds inside to pay their respects. Terrific birds-eye view image Jola! V
