Eden Park will host an afternoon of prayers and remembrance activities on Friday to honour the 50 victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings.
TIE A RIBBON: On arrival at the stadium, volunteers will be offering green ribbons for people to tie around their wrists in remembrance.
CALL TO PRAYER: Before the remembrance programme begins, members of Auckland's Muslim community will be coming together in prayer. All Aucklanders are invited to join. Those participating will need to be in place by 1.15pm. Prayer begins at 1.35pm.
PERFORMERS: The remembrance programme begins at 2.30pm, but people will need to arrive by 2.15pm.
GUIDANCE ON PROTOCOL: Be respectful of those observing their religious and cultural beliefs. People have to remove their shoes before entering the prayer area and must dress modestly. Head scarves are welcome but not essential. Those leaving during either the prayer and the remembrance programme are asked to do so discreetly and quietly.
