North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited his father's mausoleum in Pyongyang where his body is on display under glass.
Citizens laid flowers in the capital and paid silent tribute to Kim Jong-il, a man they reverentially called 'Dear Leader.'
Internationally, the senior Kim developed a reputation as a madman building nuclear weapons.
His son is now trying to convince the world that North Korea is focused on economic development.
But despite a series of summits with the leaders of the United States and South Korea, Kim Jong-un appears no closer to ending the country's nuclear weapons program.
