Scores of celebrities and fans bid farewell to Canto-pop singer Ellen Joyce Loo on Tuesday as a funeral service was held for the star, who died earlier this month.

Fellow local Canto-pop stars Denise Ho Wan-sze, Joey Yung Cho-yee, Miriam Yeung Chin-wah and Kay Tse On-kei were among those paying their last respects at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point.

Ho and music industry veteran Anthony Wong Yiu-ming served as pallbearers for the service, which was also attended by lawmaker and LGBT rights activist Raymond Chan Chi-chuen.
