Some 125,000 people gathered at Hong Kong's Victoria Park, Saturday evening, to attend a vigil for the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
The participants carried candles and laid flowers at a memorial and held a minute of silence during the vigil which marked the 27th anniversary of the crackdown. The event was the only large-scale public commemoration to place, and was organised by the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China.
Up to several hundred civilians were killed on the night of June 3-4, 1989, when tanks and troops headed to Beijing's central square where a student-led demonstration had been taking place.
