Memorial ceremonies at Vitkov Hill and National Museum

At the traditional October 28th ceremony at the national memorial on Prague's Vitkov Hill, a minute of silence was held to commemorate those who fell in battle and wreaths were laid at the memorial of Hussite warrior Jan Zizka. Besides hundreds of spectators, the event was attended by senior politicians like the president, prime minister, defence minister, and Senate chairman, as well as the Army's chief-of-staff, and members of the Czechoslovak Union of Freedom Fighters.

A separate ceremony was also held in Prague's National Museum on Saturday, organised annually by the Czechoslovak Union of Freedom Fighters and the Union of Czechoslovak Legions.
