Kim Jong-un installed as N Korea 'supreme leader'
Kim Jong-un has been installed as North Korea's "supreme leader of the party, state and army", at a vast memorial ceremony for his late father, Kim Jong-il.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians packed the main square in Pyongyang as eulogies to the man called "the Dear Leader" were read out.
Kim Jong-un, who is still in his twenties, has become the third generation of the Kim dynasty to rule North Korea since the state was founded.
