Chief Executive John Lee and senior government officials will attend a flag-raising ceremony and a National Day reception on October 1 to celebrate the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The flag-raising ceremony will take place at Golden Bauhinia Square, outside the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai, at 8am. No public viewing area will be set up.

The Police Band will perform at the ceremony and a choir from a secondary school will sing the national anthem accompanied by two lead singers. The performances will be followed by a fly-past and a sea parade by the disciplined services.

Led by Mr Lee, the National Day reception will then be held at the HKCEC.

Police will implement special traffic arrangements at Golden Bauhinia Square and the surrounding area during the events.
