Royals visit Christchurch

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge travelled to the earthquake shattered city of Christchurch on Monday, the eighth day of their royal tour through New Zealand.

The royal couple visited the Canterbury Television Memorial Park at Latimer Square where they laid down memorial stones as a tribute to Christchurch victims.

They also met with families of the 185 people killed in the 2011 earthquake.

William and Kate then walked over to the Transitional Cathedral where the local choir greeted them with the song 'Hine E Hine', a Maori lullaby.
