A memorial service in Christchurch, New Zealand, marked the 15th anniversary of the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed thousands of homes.
The event included a minute’s silence at 12:51pm, the time of the quake, the reading of victims’ names, and the tolling of a bell.
Much of the affected area, once the red zone, is now parkland and the City to Sea Pathway.
The Christ Church Cathedral remains under restoration, with a phased reopening planned by 2030.
Families of those who died in the CTV building collapse continue to demand accountability, criticizing the 2017 decision not to prosecute despite findings of negligence, and calling on the Attorney-General for answers.
