PM an 'unidentified guest' at Mandela service

Prime Minister John Key has been labelled an "unidentified guest" at Nelson Mandela's memorial service in a photograph published by a US media outlet.
The photo of Mr Key and British Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in a gallery on the New York Daily News website among a number of moving pictures from this morning's ceremony.
It was captioned: "British Prime Minister David Cameron (R) laughs with an unidentified guest as he attends the official ceremony for the late South African president Nelson Mandela."
Mr Key and a delegation of five travelled to South Africa for the more than four-hour long service at the 95,000-seat FNB Stadium. Mana Party leader Hone Harawira was also there, making his own way to the service.
Around 100 other world leaders also attended the service, which included speeches from US President Barack Obama and members of Mr Mandela's family.
