Thousands of people have taken part in a nationalist march in Warsaw to mark Polish Independence Day.
The annual march through the Polish capital has become a rallying cry for all branches of Polish nationalism and is attended by leading figures from the country's political right.
This year, that list included Polish President Karol Nawrocki, who marched the route holding a large Polish flag, alongside supporters and his security detail.
Jaroslaw Kaczyński, the leader of the main nationalist opposition party, Law and Justice (PiS), also took part in the march along with senior members from his party.
Also in attendance was British political activist and nationalist Tommy Robinson, in the city at the invite of Dominik Tarczyński, an MEP for PiS.
Members of far-right political party, the Confederation of the Polish Crown, marched with a large sign, reading: "Let’s regain our independence."
Regional authorities had banned fireworks at this year’s march, but flares were still set alight by some in the crowd.
Why is Polish Independence Day on 11 November?
A large police presence was visible throughout the city, but city officials reported that this year’s event had passed off without any security incidents.
Marches in previous years have been marred by violence and clashes with police.
Polish Prime Minster Donald Tusk, who leads a broad centrist coalition government, attended an Independence Day event in his home city of Gdańsk.
A smaller anti-fascist march also took place in another part of Warsaw.
Participants at that gathering held pro-immigration signs and Palestinian flags.
An estimated 20,000 people took part in a 10km community run in the capital and similar community events took place across the country.
Poland celebrates its Independence Day on 11 November to mark the date in 1918 that the country reemerged on the map of Europe, after 123 years of occupation and partition by Austria-Hungary, the German Empire and Imperial Russia.
