Thousands of people in Hong Kong bade farewell Sunday to late actress Lydia Sum (沈殿霞), a popular comedian known for her iconic thick black-rimmed glasses and heavy build.
Sum, who was reportedly suffering from cancer and a bile duct condition, died on Feb. 19. She was reportedly 61.
The public memorial service for Sum drew many of her friends from Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
In an eulogy, Sum's daughter said her mother was a "shooting star'' and that she was honored to have stood in her light.
The Hong Kong ceremony also showed footage of Sum's earlier funeral in her adopted home of Vancouver, Canada, where she was buried last week.
Sum is survived by her
ex-husband and their daughter.
