Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China reported 150,000 people in Hong Kong attended the vigil in Victoria Park, Hong Kong. The police, however, estimated the crowd at 62,800. See article in The New York Times. If the 150,000 is accurate, this would be the biggest June-Fourth vigil ever.
The newspaper, Singtao Daily (Eastern U.S. edition), reports an estimation of 300 people attended a vigil in New York and several hundreds attended a similar one in Washington, D.C.
