Mourning Period Ends

NORTH Korea marked the end of a three-year mourning period for the late leader Kim Jong Il yesterday, allowing his son, Kim Jong Un, to put a more personal stamp on the country.

The anniversary of Kim Jong Il’s death three years ago was observed by sirens ringing out across the country at noon and masses of North Koreans fell silent for three minutes as they bowed toward the mausoleum in Pyongyang where Kim Jong Il and his father, “eternal president” Kim Il Sung, lie in state.
