'She was everyone's Nana': Flags at half-mast as Christchurch mourns the Queen's death
Flags across the city are being lowered to half-mast as Christchurch joins the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.
In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

This is an awesome little backyard 3-tier worm farm. (Start with one tier, when full, add the second, then the third. Always feed only the top tier.)
I made this from wood as I didn't want a big plastic thing in my backyard. It works great. Ideal for a domestic garden.
