The British and Irish Lions have touched down in Christchurch on Thursday night and paid tribute to the victims of the Christchurch earthquakes.
A group of Lions' representatives, including captain Sam Warburton and coach Warren Gatland, attended a private ceremony with some of the victims' families from the 2011 disaster that left 185 people dead.
As a gesture of respect, they laid a wreath in remembrance of the victims and gave the children of victims a toy lion.
The Lions are in Christchurch ahead of their third match of their New Zealand tour and take on the Crusaders at AMI Stadium on Saturday night.
