PYONGYANG (Reuters) - One of the first things any traveller to North Korea notices is a huge portrait of Kim Il Sung, pictured in front of an aeroplane and workers alongside the road as you drive out of Pyongyang International Airport. It's an image that soon becomes very familiar.
Millions of portraits, mosaics and paintings of Kim Il Sung, founder of North Korea, and his son Kim Jong Il, the father of current leader Kim Jong Un, offer daily reminders to the public of the central role of the Kim dynasty in their nation's story.
