  • Опубликовано: 14 авг 2023
  • On 30 June, the day before Hong Kong was handed over from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China, the tune was played by the silver and pipe bands from the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, at the departure of Hong Kong's 28th and last British Governor, Chris Patten, from his official residence, Government House, Hong Kong. It was also later played in the British Farewell Ceremony later that night when the last British troops of the Black Watch marched away from the Tamar, Hong Kong site.

    Sadly one of the most loyal British Colony handovered when they actually more loyal and close to Great Britain than Communist China. Many Hongkongers flee to avoid the Chinese Communist Regime. Many Hongkong Elders cried when they heard the news about the death of Queen Elizabeth II, this shows the loyality of Hongkongers to the British Monarchy.... Remember, when they proudly waved the British Flag and sing "God Save The Queen" when they protested to the Chinese Regime.... Hongkong was a loyal colony

So pros and cons, as with everything.
