Sounds like the last flight could have been better managed, rather than being a bit of a mix between a normal flight and a special celebration. When Air France retired their last passenger 747 there were some special flights put on just for people who wanted to take photos, wander around etc.
I still think it's inexcusable that there was no water canon salute or a special welcome at the gate in HKIA though.
I feel really sad reading the last few posts, I loved the CX 747s so much, it's like part of my life has disappeared.
