There, the Polish President laid a wreath at the memorial to the victims of the plane crash and to President Lech Kaczyński on Piłsudski Square in Warsaw.

The Polish presidential plane crashed 13 years ago while attempting to land in Smolensk, Russian Federation. 96 people lost their lives in the plane crash, including Poland's President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and many leading politicians.

They were on their way to a commemoration ceremony to be held near Katyn, the site of the massacre of some 20 000 Polish military officers and policemen taken prisoner by the Red Army during the Second World War.

The crash was officially blamed on bad weather, pilot error and confusing ground signals. However, many Poles distrust the Russian investigation and believe the real cause may lie elsewhere.
