Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- The participants in the Third April Spring People's Festival visited Mangyongdae, the birthplace of President Kim Il Sung, on Saturday.

They laid bouquets and flowers before the graves of Kim Po Hyon and Ri Po Ik, the President's grandparents, and Kim Hyong Jik and Kang Pan Sok, the President's parents, and observed a moment's silence in their memory.

At the Mangyongdae Revolutionary Museum, they were briefed on the noble lives of the President, who devoted his all to the country and people, and his patriotic and revolutionary family members. They went round mementoes and historic relics on display there.

Going round the historic relics preserved with care at the thatch-roofed house in Mangyongdae, they deeply grasped the immortal exploits the President performed for the times and history after embarking upon the road of revolution in his early years and his revolutionary career totally dedicated to the people's happiness.

They also visited revolutionary sites on Mangyong Hill.
