The Duke of Edinburgh has been remembered in New Zealand as frank, engaging and willing to meet people from all walks of life during his 14 visits to the country.

New Zealand lowered its flags and held a national memorial service for Philip at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, where the duke and the Queen had worshipped several times over the years on their visits to the country.
