Flowers on the street. Funeral procession. Priests, standard-bearers, flags, banners, church hierarchs, politicians. The waiting crowd gets anxious when the coffin approaches. The coffin is carried by Solidarity activists. There is cardinal’s purple biretta on the coffin. People crane their necks, pick up cameras and take pictures. A short woman holds up a mirror.
