A National Memorial service will be held on March 18 to give people the chance to reflect on the huge impact of the February 22 earthquake. There will be a provincial holiday in Canterbury so people can attend the service.
The service will be at Christchurch’s Hagley Park from 12.45 pm, with two minutes’ silence observed at 12.51 pm. It will be broadcast live nationwide. Prince William will be in attendance, as will Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Leader of the Opposition Tony Abbott and Australian Governor-General Quentin Bryce.
