A charter flight brought the bodies of eight victims of the Philippines bus hijack back to Hong Kong yesterday.
Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration Henry Tang placed white wreaths on the coffins, while two musicians played bagpipes.
Hong Kong has been shaken by the bloody conclusion to Monday's hostage standoff.
Outraged residents have accused the Philippine government of botching negotiations with the hostage-taker and the rescue operation.
