In pictures: Nina Wang funeral

Hong Kong politicians and business elite turned out for the funeral of Hong Kong's richest woman, Nina Wang.

Wang died earlier in the month aged 69. She was believed to have been suffering from ovarian cancer.

Wang's funeral was shrouded in secrecy, with reporters barred from the venue.

A sea of flowers accumulated along the pavement outside the funeral home - filling the air with floral scent.

After the service, Wang's body was taken away in a flower-covered hearse.

Wang had hit headlines since her husband Teddy's mysterious abduction in 1990. He was never found.

She became involved in a sensational eight-year legal battle with her father-in-law for control of her husband's billions - a case she won in 2005.

Wang was known for her girlish dress sense and was dubbed "little sweetie" by local media. A caricature statue of her stands in the lobby of one of her companies.

Wang left no heirs, and speculation is rife over who will inherit her $4.2bn fortune.
