Adamowicz, 53, died Monday after being stabbed the night before at a charity event in the northern Polish city. It has drawn calls for greater national unity and condemnation of hate speech that has intensified in public amid political rivalries. In his sermon at the funeral, Gdansk Archbishop Slawoj Leszek Glodz said Adamowicz's death was a ringing alarm bell. Those at the funeral included European Council President Donald Tusk, a personal friend; Polish President Andrzej Duda; Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki; former German President Joachim Gauck and city mayors from The Netherlands and Germany. Crowds also gathered around screens in Warsaw and other cities across Poland to see the funeral.
