After decades of being unsung World War II heroes in New Zealand, Pacific Island Coastwatchers have finally been recognised.
New Zealand's Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro presented families of over 25 Pacific Islands Coastwatchers - along with five Post and Telegraph Department Coastwatchers with certificates to honour the sacrifice of their relations' service.
The long-awaited ceremony in recognition of dozens of war-heroes took place at Government House in Wellington on Tuesday.
RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon was there.
