Hui Zhang Livestream: Christchurch earthquake memorial service Britain sends condolences on quake anniversary All Black Andy Ellis recalls tragic day Video: Inside the Red Zone Forty minutes of hell that we still feel Baby's first day 'bittersweet' Quake victims' interment site officially unveiled Families grieve in their own way John Key recalls February 22, 2011
One by one the names of the 185 people killed in the Christchurch quake have slowly been read out, as the city recalls the tragic cost of February 22, 2011.
.
After the prayers at the Civil Memorial Service in Hagley Park, and before two minutes silence at 12.51pm, came the names. Names of New Zealanders, Japanese, Chinese, Israeli, Canadians and more were read out, as members of the 20,000-strong crowd locked arms and stood with their heads bowed.
It was stark a reminder that the quake spread its sorrow far and wide, and that while Christchurch would rebuild from its darkest day, there were those who were no longer with us.
