Flowers and messages of condolence and support for the victims of the Christchurch mosque terrorist attack in March 2019 outside the city's botanic gardens.
The attack claimed the lives of 51 worshippers at the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre. Shocked at the scale of the violence, communities throughout New Zealand were quick to support those affected. People gathered for vigils, left tributes outside the mosques, and attended remembrance services and memorial events. Over $24 million was donated to funds administered by Victim Support and the Christchurch Foundation, and distributed amongst victims and their families.
