A women's group has vowed to track down the origin of a diamond silver fern brooch gifted to the Queen in 1953 and worn by the Duchess of Cambridge as she arrived in New Zealand this week.
Reports from the time of the Queen's visit six decades ago say the intricate pin was a Christmas gift from "the women of Auckland" - but who those women were is a mystery.

A spokeswoman for Government House, Wellington, said it was understood that a fundraising effort by a committee of Auckland women's organisations was organised to purchase the brooch. But other than that, she did not have any specific details about the purchase.
