The governor general has honoured several people who showed extreme bravery during the terror attack in Christchurch.
Among those recognised were members of the public who rushed at the gunman to try to stop him - like Dr Naeem Rashid who confronted the terrorist in Al Noor Mosque.
He was then shot and killed. Also honoured today were police officers who responded to the attack on the day, people who were simply driving past at the time and stopped to help - others who took the wounded to hospital.
Dame Cindy Kiro says they went out of their way to try to help others.
