A National Remembrance Service for the victims of the Christchurch mosques terrorist attack will be held on Friday morning at 10

It will take place in Christchurch's North Hagley Park, and be jointly led by the government, the city, the Muslim community and Ngai Tahu.

Consideration is being given to simultaneously broadcasting the service to events in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin - and providing links for events in other towns and cities.

International guests and visitors are expected to attend.
