About 200,000 Poles participated in a march by representatives from the Polish government of President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and far-right groups on Sunday to celebrate the centenary of the restoration of Poland's independence.
Joachim Brudzinski, minister of internal affairs, tweeted the attendance figure, a far higher number than last year's 60,000 people.
The procession marks the first time Polish officials took part in the "Independence March" – an event that tends to feature racist, anti-immigrant, homophobic and white supremacist slogans.
Organised annually since 2010 by the far-right National Radical Camp, All-Polish Youth and the National Movement, chants at previous events have included: "The whole Poland sings with us: F*** off with the refugees", "Not red, not rainbow but national Poland", "One nation across the borders", and "F*** Antifa".
