The Acting Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, and senior government officials will attend a flag-raising ceremony and a reception on Thursday (July 1) to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The flag-raising ceremony will be held at Golden Bauhinia Square outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai at 8am. The Police Band will perform at the ceremony and two singers, Mr Apollo Wong and Miss Li Yang, will sing the national anthem, followed by a fly-past and a sea parade by the disciplined services.
In view of the current public health risk, no public viewing area will be set up for the flag-raising ceremony on July 1.
The celebration reception, led by the Acting Chief Executive, will be held at the Grand Hall on 3/F of the HKCEC after the flag-raising ceremony.
Motorists are reminded that the Police will implement special traffic arrangements at Golden Bauhinia Square and the nearby area during the celebration events.
