Hong Kong’s first chief executive Tung Chee-hwa honoured with state funeral
The funeral followed a vigil held the previous day at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point, which drew dozens of political and business heavyweights who paid their respects to the late leader.
Hong Kong’s first post-colonial chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, was honoured with a state funeral on Sunday. It was arranged by an 87-member committee chaired by Shi Taifeng, top vice-chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a member of the Communist Party Politburo. The state funeral was only the third time a Hongkonger received such an honour since the 1997 handover.
