President Andrzej Duda has paid his respects to those who fought and died in the 1863 January Uprising.
A cornerstone event in Polish history, the uprising started on January 22, 158 years ago, and aimed to restore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. But it was eventually, and brutally, suppressed the following year by imperial Russian forces.
The president laid flowers at the graves of some of those who died in the insurgency at the Powazki Military Cemetery.
