People hold up their phones with the light on in Hong Kong in remembrance of China's Tiananmen Square crackdown
As the clock struck 8pm in Hong Kong's shopping district of Mong Kok, dozens of people simultaneously turned their mobile phone lights on, a small gesture of defiance in a city where mass remembrance of Beijing's Tiananmen crackdown has been banned.

Hong Kongers found other ways to remember the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown in the absence of the traditional vigil in Victoria Park
It was a scene repeated in multiple districts across the city.
