9/11 Memorial Ceremony in New York Has Been Moved

The official ceremony in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks six years ago have been moved from the Ground Zero memorial, held at the site where the World Trade Center stood. For the first time, much of the September 11 ceremony is taking place away from the World Trade Center site, because of construction there. It has been moved to a park nearby.

The names of the New York City victims were being read out as in previous years but for the first time by the surviving firefighters and other emergency workers on duty at the time.

The ceremony has two moments of silence to mark the instances when the two planes crashed into the twin towers, and two more to mark the moments when the buildings collapsed.

Relatives of the 2,749 people killed in New York by 10 of the hijackers will be able to walk down into the World Trade Center site to lay flowers.
