‘Grief is the price we pay for love’

Remembering 9/11 at London ceremony

On September 11th, 2001 families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks in the USA will mark the 20th anniversary of that fateful day.

This will include a private gathering organized by the September 11 UK families support group (S11UKFSG) at the September 11th memorial garden in Grosvenor Square, London.

The September 11th UK families support group represents relatives of both the 67 British victims and other nationals with strong links to the UK.

The memorial garden (above) is the only UK memorial specially designed in consultation with the bereaved families.

It was created in memory of all those who lost their lives in the atrocity and houses a pergola with the inscription: “Grief is the price we pay for love.”
