Around 8am

The government marks the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule from British rule with a flag-raising ceremony and a reception at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

As it is raining, guests watch a live broadcast of the ceremony from the convention centre.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam makes a short speech, in which she promises to reform her administration's governing style.

11.30am

The authorities issue a statement condemning violence after police officers were hurt during clashes at Lung Wo Road, Tim Mei Avenue and Harcourt Road around 9.30am.

The injured officers had been splashed with an unidentified liquid believed to be drain cleaner.

2.58pm

Police use pepper spray to push back protesters as they push a cart through the shattered door of the building. Demonstrators try to smash more glass panels with metal poles. Around 4pm Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hits out at British interference.

Organisers of the peaceful July 1 march say 550,000 people turned out for the annual pro-democracy rally.
