9/11 ten years on



The Imperial War Museum North at Salford Quays is hardly the most enticing of names but it has an exhibition marking the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This includes a 2m long British flag found at Ground Zero. The flag was later laid on the altar of St Paul’s Cathedral in London at a memorial service for victims of the attacks: http://north.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.3788

To mark the tenth anniversary itself at 4.00pm (1500 UTC) on Sunday 11 September, the Imperial War Museum is linking with Wake Forest University in North Carolina, USA, for a memorial event, with two classical pieces composed for the event: http://north.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.3789

  3. I've sometimes tried to photo this building myself, but always given up: all the grey has defeated me.
    But you've done a great job: the horizontal clouds and the blue shade coming off the metal have created a memorable pic.
