Thousands of people in the streets of Poland`s cities are standing rigid and silent, marking two minutes of silent memorial to those killed in a devastating plane crash. The silence was preceded by the thundering pealing of church bells and din of emergency sirens for nearly a minute before everything faded into utter silence. In front of the presidential palace, hundreds of people stopped what they were doing and stood, some with their eyes closed and heads bowed.
A special mourning ceremony was held in the Georgian Embassy in Poland as well. A national flag was lowered at the building. The Georgian ambassador himself went to the summer residence of president, where representatives of diplomatic missions are arriving today to express their solidarity and condolences towards the Polish people.
