Comrade Kim Jong Il had been 69 when he passed away and had worked every minute of his life right to the very end for the people. He was the epitome of a true people's leader in every sense of the word even wearing the same plain parka for many years.
              Throughout his life comrade Kim Jong Il  visited at least 14 290 units across the DPRK covering 669 844 km,  a distance equal to going around the world 17 times. Everything in the DPRK has the traces of his footsteps.
            Comrade Kim Jong Il wrote over 890 different works. He is best known for his different works on the Juche Idea  which developed it in depth and expounded it philosophical principle that man is the master of everything and decides everything
                    Throughout his life comrade Kim Jong Il was a staunch defender of independence and socialism.  He made sure that the DPRK kept to the road of socialism when others abandoned it .Under his leadership the DPRK resisted the pressure of US imperialism and big power chauvinism firmly maintaining independence.
                   Thanks to the Songun politics of comrade Kim Jong Il, which built the DPRK up into a mighty military power of Juche , the outbreak of war was prevented on the Korean peninsula thus making a great contribution to world peace.
The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il made an unparalleled contribution to the cause of Korean reunification by ushering in the June 15 era of "By  Our Nation Itself"
UK KFA remember comrade Kim Jong Il as a great leader of the Korean people and world people . We are confident that the Juche cause is carried forward by his successor dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.
