KEY POINTS:
New Zealand Post is releasing a set of stamps to mark the 90th anniversary of the end of World War 1.
The war officially ended at 11am on November 11, 1918.
New Zealand Post and Australia Post have issued a combined pack featuring a New Zealand miniature sheet and an Australian miniature sheet.
The New Zealand miniature sheet features the Armistice Day parade along Queen Street, Auckland, with insets of the Anzac commemorative stamps issued by New Zealand Post in April.
New Zealand Post general manager stamps Ivor Masters said the stamps honoured the Anzac forces who fought during World War 1 at Gallipoli, in the Middle East and on the Western Front.
"The pride the original Anzacs took in that name endures to this day as a tradition in both countries."
A Belgium Post miniature sheet is included in a separate pack with the New Zealand miniature sheet and first day cover.
