Chief Executive John Lee and officials paid their final respects to late senior police constable Chu Chun-kwok at a funeral with full honours on Friday.

Chu was paralysed after being attacked on duty in 2005 and passed away last month at the age of 52.

A funeral ceremony was held at the Universal Funeral Parlour in Hung Hom at 10.30am, followed by a farewell ceremony at Cheung Sha Wan police station and a burial ceremony at Gallant Garden.

Others in attendance included Chief Secretary Eric Chan, Secretary for Security Chris Tang, Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung, Police Commissioner Joe Chow and former police chiefs Lee Ming-kwai and Tang King-shing.

Chu’s coffin was draped in an SAR flag and carried by police officers. It was then moved onto a hearse converted from a police vehicle, with a portrait of him mounted on the front.

The police band started playing as mourners lined up outside the funeral parlour to bid farewell to Chu.

The hearse arrived at Cheung Sha Wan police station for a farewell ceremony later before Chu was buried.
