We have planted a young pūriri tree in Laurie Hall Park to commemorate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.

Members of Ngā Hapū o Whangārei supported the planting in honour of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, signed in the time of Queen Victoria. The long association of the Tai Tokerau tribes with the Monarch began in 1831 when Ngāpuhi chiefs corresponded with King William IV, which resulted in the signing in 1835 of He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nū Tīreni (Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand) which enabled Māori to treat with Great Britain five years later in 1840.

Pictured holding the spade with Mayor Vince Cocurullo is 86 year-old hapū member Anne Davies (nee Malcolm) whose ancestor Hōri Tahua and ancestress Te Rangitopeora were among the signatories to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. During the planting, Anne reflected on the time Queen Elizabeth II visited Whangārei following her Coronation in 1953, recounting how the Queen stayed at the Grand Hotel and received the Whangārei people from the balcony.

Ethan's life was surrounded by drugs and alcohol due to gang-affiliated friends and family. But after losing loved ones, he joined a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme. Initially hesitant and shy, he gradually gained confidence, showed his humour and found his voice.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.

The Lost King
UK, 2022, Comedy/Drama, 103 mins, Rated M

Director: Stephen Frears

Based on a true story, Philippa Langley is an amateur historian who's fascinated by the life of King Richard III. Philippa spends so much of her time researching Richard's life that she begins to see his ghost. Things get even stranger when Philippa realises that she can talk to the 500 year-old former monarch.

As such, Philippa decides to pinpoint Richard's final resting place, which had not been found, even after hundreds of years of searching. But in compiling her research, Phillipa's controversial theories spark outrage amongst the top UK historians.
