Outgoing Governor General Sir Anand Satyanand is at the NZ Parliament for his official farewell.
Sir Anand and Lady Susan arrived at Parliament shortly before midday for a Maori welcome and a military Guard of Honour.
They were greeted in pelting rain by Prime Minister John Key and the Speaker Lockwood Smith, amid the sound of a 21 gun salute from the harbour and a naval band.
Sir Anand’s last official day is next Tuesday.
Lieutenant General Sir Jerry Mateparae will be sworn in as the next Governor General on 31 August.
