Kei nga Manahautu, Rau rangatira ma

It was with great sadness that I received notification today from Buckingham Palace that His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh has died at Windsor Castle.

Kei āku nui, Kei āku rahi

Nau mai, piki mai i runga i te aroha ki te kaupapa o te ra

Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā tātou katoa

To everyone who has gathered in recognition of this most important day, welcome.
