German flag to fly on Auckland Harbour Bridge

The flag of Germany will fly from Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow, Tuesday 3 October, in recognition of the German National Day. The flag will be flown from 6:30am until 6:30pm.

Transit considers requests from nations wanting to commemorate their country's national days. Recently the Nigerian, Maltese and Chilean flags have all flown on the bridge.
