An Estimated 1.5 Million Strong congregation will attend tomorrow's Funeral Mass for The Victims of Poland's VVIP Plane Crash, a devastating history for 2010.
Warsaw, Poland (CNN) -- Thousands of people gathered to mourn publicly Saturday in the Polish capital for the 96 victims of last weekend's plane crash.
Central Warsaw was in a lockdown as a trumpeter played, photos of the dead were displayed in Pilsudski Square, and speeches were delivered honoring the victims.
"There's no way you can travel here by car," said CNN's Frederik Pleitgen. "What's going on, though, is they've made all public transportation free and put in extra buses so as many people as possible are able to come here."
The crash killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, dignitaries and top military leaders. Their plane crashed in bad weather as they were on their way to a service commemorating Polish prisoners of war massacred in Russia during World War II.

An estimated 1.5 million people are expected to turn out Sunday to bid farewell to Kaczynski, first at a state funeral and then at a church service in the historic city of Krakow.
Polish national unity blossomed after the crash, but discord surfaced over a decision to bury the late president and his wife in a crypt previously reserved for monarchs and saints.
There was concern also about worldwide air traffic disruptions caused by the volcanic ash from Iceland.
But the funeral Sunday will proceed as scheduled, said Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorsky.
The services "will not be postponed, but they will be affected," he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.
"The papal legate who was supposed to lead the funeral Mass has apparently canceled," he said. "And quite frankly we can't blame people for not wanting to take even the smallest risk to the security of air traffic in the circumstances."
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is in Poland. U.S. President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel plan to attend. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has canceled his trip.
The partial list of those killed published on the Web site of President Lech Kaczynski's Law and Justice Party includes:
Lech Kaczynski -- Polish President
Maria Kaczynska -- The First Lady Of Poland
Ryszard Kaczorowski -- Poland's last President-in-exile
