THE Prince of Wales joined in a Maori song yesterday at a Westminster Abbey memorial service for the victims of the New Zealand earthquake.
Around 1,900 people, mostly Kiwis, packed into the Abbey, in central London, to hear hymns, prayers and testimonies in memory of the February 22 disaster that claimed at least 166 lives.
Charles laid a wreath of white and yellow roses outside, to which he had attached a message in Maori reading “You will be remembered always.”
New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra broke down in tears as she read out a testimony about the devastation.
