Wellington’s giant All Blacks sign is being taken down this morning to make way for its permanent replacement.
The sign was secretly erected overnight in September last year in time for the Rugby World Cup.
In its place will be a permanent sign simply reading "Wellington" but with the last letters being blown away in reference to the capital's notorious winds.
Originally, the sign was going to say "Wellywood" -- but a public outcry led to a rethink and a sign reading ‘All Blacks’ was put up instead.
