London ceremony marks 9/11 anniversary
The UK has marked the fifth anniversary of 9/11 with a low-key ceremony in London.
Families of the 67 Britons who perished in the September 11 attacks have attended a private service in the memorial garden near the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square.
A minute's silence was held at 13.46 BST, at the exact moment when the first plane hit the World Trade Centre. Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell, representing the UK Government, laid 67 roses in memory of the British victims, while Alex Clarke, chair of the September 11 Families Support Group, spoke at the event.
Prince Andrew has flown to New York to take part in a service in the British Memorial Garden in Manhattan, where 67 British police officers will also be present to provide an honour guard.
