Remembering World War II


In commemoration of the WWII, our visitors from UK decided to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Hong Kong.

Royal Order of Scotland wreath

The ceremony finished by saluting to the men and women of war. This really touched my heart as looking at the elderly who joined in the celebration was all in tears as the salute trumpet goes. All the experiences came back to the memories of the men and women of WWII. I was so moved by the emotions that they have show but so proud at the same time that most of the soldiers and ladies still lived to tell the stories of war.
