The Kaczynski Funeral

The late President's twin brother, Jaroslaw, and the Kaczynski's daughter, Marta, and her husband.

The caskets in St. Mary's Basilica on Krakow, Poland.

Tens of thousands were outside the basilica and lining the way of the funeral cortege to Wawel Hill, the place of burial.

This was a poignantly sad, but beautifully traditional Catholic funeral. It was long, yet worth every minute of watching the people of Poland express their love for the Kaczynskis. May they continue to be strong!

(The Obamas did not attend due to the ashiness over Europe from Iceland's unpronounceable volcano.

They would have been bored, anyway.)
