Thousands of people from all over the country lined up to respectfully visit President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum on the occasion of National Day, September 2.

From early morning on September 1, thousands of people from all over the country came to the capital Hanoi to celebrate Independence Day and visit President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. According to Dan Viet reporters, from early morning on September 1, people lined up on Ngoc Ha Street for kilometers waiting to visit Uncle Ho.

The line of people lining up to visit Uncle Ho's mausoleum stretched from the intersection of Hung Vuong - Le Hong Phong Street to Ngoc Ha Street. The weather in Hanoi was quite hot, but that did not stop the flow of people coming here on the occasion of National Day.

Security personnel are present everywhere to ensure order and safety and guide people in line to enter Uncle Ho's mausoleum.

The weather in Hanoi has turned to autumn, so people waiting in long lines for hours is not too difficult.

Children followed their parents in line for hours.

As noon approached, the line of people lining up to pay their respects to Uncle Ho grew longer and longer. Joining in the solemn atmosphere of National Day September 2, people were also aware of maintaining order and civilized behavior.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tue (65 years old, living in Thai Binh ) visited Uncle Ho's mausoleum for the first time with her family. "This is the first time I have visited Uncle Ho's mausoleum with my family. I am a teacher, every year I am the one who takes the students there, but this year I decided to go with my family to visit Uncle Ho. This morning I also attended the flag-raising ceremony and felt very proud and moved. Even though I have to wait in line for a long time, I will still wait to visit Uncle Ho," Ms. Tue shared.

Crowds of people were present at Ba Dinh Square from early morning.

79 years ago, at 2:00 p.m. on September 2, 1945, in front of tens of thousands of people gathered at Ba Dinh Square, with loudspeakers, President Ho Chi Minh solemnly read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. 79 years have passed, but the memory remains intact, of the sacred independence day of the entire nation. Before that, early in the morning of September 2, a special flag-raising ceremony took place at Ba Dinh Square. On the night of September 1, the National Flag was not lowered so that the flag could fly forever in the early morning of independence. Celebrating the 79th anniversary of National Day September 2, every Vietnamese person, no matter where they are, cannot help but be moved, remembering the heroic, boiling and exciting atmosphere of the early days of the revolution, especially the historic National Day September 2, 1945.
