Bagpipe player Bryan Mitchell watches on as from left, Cambridge RSA president Tony Hill, community board chair Jo Davies-Colley and deputy mayor Liz Stolwyk reflect on the Le Quesnoy sister city relationship.
The French and New Zealand flags flew at half mast next to the Fred Graham sculpture in Lake Te Koo Utu Domain last week to mark 104 years since New Zealand soldiers liberated the northern French town of Le Quesnoy.
During a memorial ceremony, organised by the Cambridge RSA and Community Board, the flags were raised and wreaths laid.
