Poles across Scotland are mourning the loss of Poland's president and several top defence officials and public figures in a plane crash.
President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others died in the crash in Russia.
Mourning ribbons fly alongside the Polish flag at a Polish social club in Glasgow, and people have left flowers and candles outside the building.
On Sunday 300 people from the Polish community gathered together at St Simon's Catholic Church in Glasgow.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said the deaths were "an appalling tragedy".
In Glasgow, Agatha Wasilewska told BBC Radio Scotland that the whole Polish community was in "huge, huge shock".
"Still after three days, we are so sad," she said.
"We can't believe what's happened. And why it happened to so many important people in Poland.
"Half of our Polish flowers have died".
Also speaking to the BBC in Glasgow, Jan Nowicki said the deaths would "leave a big vacuum in the political situation in Poland over the next several years".
As well as the president and his wife, dozens of leading figures from politics, the civil service and Poland's armed services were killed when their aircraft came down as it approached Smolensk airport in thick fog.
The delegation had been travelling to Russia to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre.
The deaths of more than 20,000 Poles are already commemorated by a plaque outside the Sikorski Polish club, near Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park.
Poland is observing a week of public mourning and Polish communities around the world have joined in marking the deaths.
President Kaczynski's body has already been flown home to Warsaw, where it will lie in state.
Russian experts are warning it may take several days to identify the remains of other victims.
