Hong Kong mourners queue to pay respects after deadly Tai Po fire

In Hong Kong’s Tai Po district, thousands of mourners lined up for nearly two kilometres to honour the victims of the Wang Fuk Court fire.

Residents carried flowers, bowed in silence and visited memorial sites established across all 18 districts.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club held races behind closed doors at Sha Tin as a mark of respect, with proceeds dedicated to affected families.

At Sha Tin Fire Station, tributes continued to grow for the firefighter who died, while local associations launched donation efforts for his family.
