A collapsed ceiling in Hawke's Bay and a special commemoration in Wanganui are just two of the stories making headlines around the regions today.

The sky is falling! Pieces of Hawke's Bay Airport ceiling have fallen on to three shocked passengers - and one young girl took the full "brunt" of it.

Nailed it - a Wanganui woman with a particular passion has used her special skills to honour Anzac Day in a unique way.

The Masterchef pink ladies have made an unexpected splash in Northland - and got to meet their number one fan.

A Wairarapa reporter has essentially been flung into the sky in a light plane with no engine - something apparently considered to be a "stress-reliever".
