North Korean flags fly at half-mast on fishing boats after the funeral of the late leader Kim Jong-Il, at the Chinese North Korean border area near Dandong on December 29, 2011. North Korea staged a massive memorial service for late leader Kim Jong-Il attended by tens of thousands, and declared his untested young son and successor the supreme party and military chief. “Respected comrade Kim Jong-Un is the supreme leader of our party and the military who inherited Kim Jong-Il’s spirit, leadership, personality, morality and fortitude,” said ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-Nam.
