A flag-raising ceremony was held at Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai at 8 am on Thursday to mark National Day and the 77th anniversary of the People's Republic of China's founding.

Those in attendance included Chief Executive John Lee and his wife, the director of Beijing's liaison office in Hong Kong, Zhou Ji; senior government officials, executive council members, and former chief executives Donald Tsang, CY Leung and Carrie Lam.

Attendees sang the national anthem as the national and SAR flags were raised.
