00:00 The doors reopened at 9.30 this morning and hundreds of shoppers and retail workers have
00:07 returned to the centre throughout the day.
00:10 While trade resumed in as normal a way as possible, signs of last Saturday's murders
00:14 are everywhere.
00:15 On the fourth floor, an ever-growing floral tribute has been set up with a condolence
00:20 room for the prisoners to sign.
00:22 We were in Auckland when it happened and basically the whole of New Zealand was really shocked
00:27 and so it's really eerie coming here.
00:30 It's quiet, very quiet and everybody sings a little bit.
00:36 Mmm, I don't know what to do.
00:39 I thought I'd come down here, go to Apple, go and get a few things, get a haircut.
00:44 It has to go back to normal eventually.
00:46 It's sad as it is and it is sad, but you've got to keep going.
00:50 The shopping centre will operate on quiet time for at least the next few days with no
00:55 music on the loudspeakers or advertisements on the screens around the centre.
01:00 Instead, black ribbons pay respect to the six victims of last week's attack.
01:05 There's a very obvious security presence and mental health support will continue to be
01:10 available on site.
01:12 Meanwhile, permanent visas have been granted to two men dubbed heroes after last week's
01:18 attack.
01:19 A Frenchman dubbed a "Bollard Man" and a security guard who risked his life to try
01:25 to save others.
