North Koreans mourn Kim Jong-il
Found on BBC News on Monday, 19 December 2011
People wept openly on the streets of the capital, Pyongyang. State media said he had suffered a heart attack on Saturday, aged 69. He had been unwell.
The announcer, wearing black, struggled to keep back the tears as she said he had died of physical and mental over-work.
Images from inside the secretive state showed people in the streets of Pyongyang weeping at the news of his death.
I have never seen such exaggerated mourning ever before. Propaganda may have it's place, but watching this makes it just ludicrous.
