STORYLINE:
People lined the streets of Krakow early on Sunday awaiting the coffins holding Poland''s President Lech Kaczynski and his wife that were being flown from Warsaw for burial in a historic cathedral.
The bodies of the couple, who died in a plane crash on April 10, were driven slowly through Warsaw past places linked to Kaczynski''s life.
They included city hall, where he served as mayor of Warsaw, and a museum whose creation he championed on the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.
People holding flags waited along the funeral procession route that would take the first couple''s coffins from St. Mary''s Basilica, where the funeral mass would take place, to Wawel Cathedral for their interment.
The thickening cloud of volcanic ash over Europe caused some world leaders - including US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper - to cancel plans to attend Sunday''s state funeral.
Still, some European leaders said they would drive to Krakow.
Last Saturday''s crash of the Tupolev 154 - which investigators have said was likely due to human error - plunged Poland into a deep grief not seen since the death of Pope John Paul II five years ago.
