Families of victims, survivors and U.S. leaders gathered at New York's 9/11 Memorial on Friday (September 11) to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Service members carried a large U.S. flag as a choir sang the national anthem before a ceremony attended by former Presidents Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, along with Vice President JD Vance and other dignitaries. Relatives holding photographs of loved ones observed a moment of silence after the ringing of a bell marking the time the first hijacked plane struck the World Trade Center. Bagpipes played as the commemoration continued at Ground Zero.
