The New Zealand government has revealed the events that will take place across the country to mark the King's coronation, and the Kiwis who will be in attendance at the historic occasion.
The illumination will take place overnight on May 6 as the historic occasion unfolds, ahead of a gun salute in Wellington the next day by the New Zealand Defence Force.
"The donation will create a living legacy to benefit all New Zealanders, provide more resilience against climate change, and aligns with King Charles’s lifelong interest in environmental conservation," he said. "The public are encouraged to attend events in their communities, including a family friendly celebration at the Auckland Domain on Sunday 7 May."
