Danuta Siedzikówna (codename Inka) and Feliks Selmanowicz (also known as Zagończyk) were buried with military honours 70 years after they were executed by the communist authorities.

As Agnieszka Łaszczuk reports, hundreds of Poles of all ages attended the funeral, sharing their thoughts with Polish Radio.

“Since childhood we have been absorbed by the story of Inka,” one young scout said.
