Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared a video of the St John's college choir singing Dick Lee's "Home" at Mr Lee Kuan Yew's Lying in State.

On his Facebook page PM Lee said, "A beautiful rendition of “Home” by the choir of St John’s College, Cambridge. They happened to be here to perform at the Esplanade Concert Hall, and offered to sing at the Lying in State today as a tribute to my father.

I was very moved by their performance. My parents studied in Cambridge. They were not in St John’s, but they had friends there, and one of their favourite places was the Bridge of Sighs, which is in St John’s College. They took a picture together at the bridge when they were students, and came back over the years to visit. – LHL"
