The Sunday afternoon vigil was organised by Henderson Land Development, the conglomerate Lee founded in 1976. A funeral will take place on Monday for the tycoon, who died last month at the age of 97.
Among those seen attending the Sunday service were: eldest son Peter Lee Ka-kit; younger son Martin Lee Ka-shing and his wife, Cathy Tsui Chi-kei; late tycoon Stanley Ho’s fourth wife, Angela Leong On-kei; nightlife tycoon Allan Zeman; Bank of East Asia executive chairman David Li Kwok-po; former chief executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen; various Hong Kong ministers; and former chief secretary Henry Tang Ying-yen and his wife.
“Thank you for your hard work over the past two days,” both sons told the media at the vigil.
Dozens of residents paid tribute to Lee Shau-kee, with flower wreaths from prominent figures, universities, lawmakers and companies placed outside the venue.
Hongkonger Alex Ip, 69, said he attended the service as he was “curious about the occasion” and knew of “Henderson’s contribution to Hong Kong with Towngas, which it controlled, and real estate, and so on”.
