The wartime execution of English nurse Edith Cavell has been commemorated in Arthurs Point near Queenstown - 100 years after she was killed.
Cavell was shot by a German firing squad on October 12, 1915, for helping Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium.
Yesterday's ceremony took place beneath a bridge bearing her name.
The service was officiated by St Peter's Parish Queenstown vicar the Rev Chris Tweddell, Ngai Tahu Tourism southern regional manager David Kennedy, piper Blair Rodger and Queenstown RSA president Lyall McGregor.
