Today is the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele, one of New Zealand's darkest days where 846 Kiwi soldiers lost their lives in the World War I battle.
A national ceremony of remembrance will be held at Wellington's Pukeahu National War Memorial Park this afternoon, which will be streamed live by 1 NEWS NOW.
It will be followed by the unveiling of a memorial gifted by the Belgian government.
