Prayers were led by our Senior Station Officer, Right Reverend Ross Bay, and names were read out of the 56 New Zealand firefighters who have died in the execution of their duty. The names of 343 New Yorkers who died on 9/11 were recalled by visiting US firefighters. Then there was the Memorial Climb to the top of the Sky Tower and back.
