The service is marked by the National Anthem, hymns, a piper, laying of ANZAC wreaths and the ANZAC Dedication which incorporates the final verse of Laurence Binyon's "For the Fallen": They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840 by over 500 MÄori chiefs of New Zealand and the British Governor William Hobson, representing the British Government. * With the signing of the Treaty, Governor Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840. * New Zealand was initially part of the Australian colony of New South Wales. It became a separate colony in 1841 and became self-governing in 1852. Dominion status was attained in 1907, and full independence was granted in 1931 and ratified by New Zealand in 1947.

He sailed to the tip of North Island before leaving New Zealand waters.
