Britain returned control of Hong Kong to China. The handover was dogged by fears in the territory about what the political change would bring. Would freedoms be eroded?

She's gone back to see how the former colony's faring ten years on.

The heat was oppressive. But as the long thin Chinese rowing boats sliced through the water, the crowd along the riverbank burst into life, cheering and waving and urging the teams on.
