Victims of 9/11 remembered on both sides of the Atlantic


MOVING services were held on both sides of the Atlantic to mark ten years since the terrorist atrocities of September 11.

Relatives of British victims joined with the American ambassador to the UK Louis Susman for a ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

In New York, US President Barack Obama and his predecessor George Bush attended a service at Ground Zero. A memorial with two voids where the Twin Towers once stood has been created there.

In London worshippers at St Paul’s prayed for the nearly 3,000 people who died in the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington DC, as well as for those whose lives were changed forever that day.

Members of protest group Muslims Against Crusades set fire to a US flag in London as a minute's silence was held to mark the moment the first plane struck.
