Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying gets a boost tomorrow when his backers march from Victoria Park to government headquarters in Admiralty in a display of support. The organiser, the internet-based group Caring Hong Kong Power, has asked participants to wear white - after anti-Leung campaigners adopted black as their colour. The march takes place two days before a pair of anti-Leung marches on New Year's Day.

A simple funeral will be held today in Hung Hom for quadriplegic Tang Siu-pun, who died suddenly this month. The funeral will be followed by a memorial service organised by friends of Tang. Tang, known to many as Ah Bun, became a well-known figure in 2003 when he made a high-profile plea for euthanasia to be legalised. In 2007, Tang wrote the autobiographical I Want Euthanasia, in which he argued for the right to die in peace and with dignity.
