Armed police will patrol Anzac Day services across New Zealand Thursday in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks, as thousands honour the country’s war dead and Britain’s Prince William arrives on a visit. Frontline officers have historically been unarmed in New Zealand, although this policy was changed following last month’s shootings that left 50 worshippers dead until the terrorism threat level was lowered last week. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there are no specific security threats for Thursday’s memorial services.
