Kim Jong-Il
North Korean television has flighted images of the body of Kim Jong-Il lying in a glass coffin. There was also a flower-bedecked bier supporting the casket. His son and successor, Kim Jong-Un and other senior officials could be seen paying their respects.
The glass coffin, similar to the one Snow White was placed in, from a distance.
The body of Kim senior was dressed in his trademark khaki tunic, with most of the corpse covered by a red sheet, at Pyongyang’s Kumsusan Memorial Palace. The body of his father, founding president Kim Il-Sung, is also on display elsewhere in the palace.
Here are some more images from the news broadcast:

The North has set the funeral for December 28, and urged people to rally round Kim Jong-Un as the “great successor”. In case you missed it earlier, North Koreans have taken the news of their beloved leader rather badly, with many weeping hysterically in the streets.
