The public will get a chance to pay final tributes to the late 'King of Broadcasting', Chung Wai-ming, next Saturday at the headquarters of RTHK, where he spent most of his working life.
The public memorial service will take place after family and friends say their goodbyes at a private funeral for the broadcasting veteran, who had worked in the industry since 1947.
Chung, 78, collapsed in Prince Edward MTR station while on his way to work last Friday. He was declared dead at Kwong Wah Hospital.
His son, Danny Chung Yan-kit, said yesterday private funeral services would be held at Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point on Wednesday and Thursday.
'The service will be a private one that only my father's close friends and family members will attend,' he said. 'As my father was a very low-profile person and liked to keep things simple, the funeral will also be a low-key one.'
However, members of the public will still have the chance to bid farewell to Chung.
