As Kim Jong-il's funeral took place, there was tight security at the North Korean embassy in Beijing, where the flag flew at half-mast.

China has been urged by Japan to assume a big role in ensuring North Korea avoids volatility, and to share information about unfolding events.

The reaction in Beijing to Kim Jong-il's death and its aftermath has been polite and respectful.
