Poland's president to be buried Sunday in Krakow
Poland's president and first lady will be buried Sunday in a state funeral in Krakow's Wawel Cathedral, the historic resting place of the country's kings and former leaders, officials said.
Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria Kaczynska, were among 96 people killed Saturday in a plane crash in Western Russia. Investigators are pointing at human error as the cause.
Stanislaw Kracik, Krakow province governor, said the presidential couple will receive a funeral at 2 p.m. (1200 GMT) Sunday in the 1,000-year-old cathedral — the main burial site of Polish monarchs since the 14th century.
