We will remember them
After almost four-and-a-half years, World War I came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on November 11, 1918.
The fighting ceased at 11am, but not before it claimed a toll of more than 18,000 New Zealanders’ lives, of 100,000 in total (or ten per cent of the population at the time) who served overseas including 425 soldiers from the Hastings district.
Today at 11am on 11 November, throughout Aotearoa New Zealand we will mark the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918 with a two minute silence of remembrance. This silence will be broken by a “Roaring Chorus” of joyful noise, echoing the celebrations of 100 years ago when people fill the streets in a spontaneous and jubilant celebration at news of the war’s end.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
