There was a ceremony of the military band of the KPA.

All the participants paid the most respectful homage to the portraits of smiling Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

KPA Vice Marshal Hwang Pyong So, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, made a speech to pay high tribute to the Generalissimos and pledge loyalty to Kim Jong Un.

He said that the immortal revolutionary exploits the Generalissimos performed in the glorious period of the nation's history spanning 5,000 years by dedicating themselves to the sacred revolutionary cause of achieving the country's prosperity and people's happiness, would remain shining forever.

He represented the faith and will of the service personnel of the KPA to hold the Generalissimos in high esteem as the sun of Juche forever and faithfully uphold the idea and leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un with arms as follows:

The KPA is the eternal army of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and our armed forces are those of Kim Jong Un which devotedly defend him and remain true only to his leadership.

It will always keep itself highly alert in view of the prevailing situation and mobilize all its inexhaustible military muscle which has been built down through generations if the enemies try to encroach upon the DPRK's sovereignty and thus mercilessly blow up their bases of aggression.

The participants chanted slogans of faith, vowing to wage a dynamic struggle for the final victory of the revolutionary cause of Juche.

Then followed a march-past of the participants and fireworks display.
