Around 2000 people were invited to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey on September 19 – and among them were a select group of New Zealanders.
In addition to Aotearoa’s six official representatives, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Governor-General Cindy Kiro, and five New Zealanders who have been granted royal honours, 10 other Kiwis from many walks of life were chosen to represent the nation at the service.
