National service to remember mosque tragedy
A National Remembrance Service for the victims of the Christchurch mosques terrorist attack, and all those affected by it, will be held on Friday in Christchurch’s Hagley Park.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the 10am service will be jointly led by the Government, the city of Christchurch, Ngāi Tahu and the Muslim community.
Considerations are being given to simultaneously broadcasting the service to events in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin and providing links for events in other towns and cities.
She says it will provide an opportunity for Canterburians, New Zealanders and people all around the world to come together as one to honour the victims of the attack.
