It was a damp start to the day for protesters who camped outside as rain and heavy winds battered the capital overnight.

At 8.30am, Parliament's loudspeakers once more started blasting music by Barry Mannilow and others.
Following a Twitter post by UK musician James Blunt telling the New Zealand police to contact him if the music being used did not deter protestors, his song You're Beautiful, was added to the playlist.
Some of the protesters sang along to the tune, and danced to another of the pieces being played - Babyshark.

As the day progressed, the number of protesters increased and began to get more vocal, flying flags and bringing in more bales of hay.
