Choir from St John's College, University of Cambridge, sings "Home" at Parliament House
It was a beautifully poignant moment amid the endless queues that were snaking into parliament house for the public wake.
One by one, young men from the University of Cambridge - Mr Lee's alma mater - wearing robes, started walking in, and stepping onto a podium above the casket.
As one, the St John's College choir started singing a beautiful rendition of 'Home', composed by Dick Lee, in a fitting tribute to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The choir was on tour in this part of the world, and interrupted their schedule to pay tribute at the public wake. Video: Tan Weizhen/TODAY
