Armistice Day memorial service

The Team from Auckland Museum

This month, join us in our World War One Sanctuary to commemorate Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.

On Sunday 10 November at 1.30pm and 2.30pm, Auckland Girls' Choir will perform in commemoration of the men and women who served and the sacrifices that were made in the two world wars and later conflicts.

The following day at 11am, Monday 11 November, the Armistice Day memorial service will be held to remember all those who served and those who have given their lives in military service.

This date also commemorates the signing of the WWI armistice and offers a chance to reflect on the sacrifices that were made in the hope of securing lasting peace.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
