Warsaw Uprising anniversary becomes a national event

In the capital, at the stroke of 5pm, all traffic came to a standstill, including buses and trams, as well as pedestrians to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the event. Celebrations went on across the whole day, including street concerts and blood donations. At night a candle was lit in the Powiśle district which will continue to burn for 63 days.
