A soldier films North Korean soldiers, officers and high ranking officials attending a military parade marking the 105th birth anniversary of country's founding father Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang, North Korea, April 15, 2017. The parade is focused on a special balcony building from which Kim Jong Un watches proceedings. From there, one can see the tanks roll past and thousands of people working as human pixels to create large propaganda slogans using colourful placards and plastic flowers. The exposed seating area is divided into two. Party and military officials sit at stage right. Foreign diplomats and special guests sit at stage left. Journalists stand a few metres in front of them at ground level, beside the main parade route. REUTERS/Damir Sagolj TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY SEARCH "PARADE WID" FOR THIS STORY.
