A wreath in the name of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was standing in front of the bier of the deceased.

There were also wreaths in the name of the WPK Central Committee, the WPK Central Military Commission, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK and the DPRK Cabinet.

Wreaths were laid in the name of the KPA General Political Bureau, the Ministry of National Defence, the General Staff of the KPA, military schools at all levels in Pyongyang, Guard Headquarters, Ministry of State Security, Ministry of Public Security and other military organs.

Amid the playing of dirge, the condolers observed a moment’s silence in memory of the late Hyon.

They expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members.
