PYONGYANG: Tens of thousands of North Koreans turned out to pay tribute to their leaders on Monday , the most important day of the isolated, nuclear-armed country's ritual calendar.
From early morning, a steady stream of citizens arrived at Mansu hill in Pyongyang, where giant bronze statues of the two elder Kims look out over the capital. Retired colonel Ra Man Ok, 84, wiped tears from her eyes as she stood before the statues, took a few paces backwards still facing the images, and bowed an extra, second time.
Ordinary North Koreans always express wholehearted support for the authorities when speaking to foreign media.In pride of place before the statues, cordoned off with a chain, stood a giant floral tribute in the name of Kim Jong Un. April 15 is known as the 'Day of the Sun', the anniversary of the 1912 birth of North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung.
Hostile moves by the US, he said,"seriously get on our nerves. I am very displeased with such a trend."
