In this Saturday, April 15, 2017, photo, bronze statues of late leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are paraded across Kim Il Sung Square during a military parade to celebrate the 105th birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang, North Korea. The broad avenues of Pyongyang were, by authoritarian North Koreas standards, fairly empty ahead of Tuesdays 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Peoples Army, one of the biggest events on the countrys calendar. In recent years, the army commemoration has taken a backseat to the April 15th celebration of North Korea founder Kim Il Sungs birth, which saw thousands choking the avenues to prepare for the countrys biggest holiday.
