The United States has held an annual ceremony to remember those who died during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York.

The 9/11 memorial, which is held in various places across the country, started with the reading of the names of those who were killed.

US president, Joe Biden was at Anchorage, Alaska, to take part in a memorial for the 22nd anniversary.

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris was at a procession at the Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.

In total, six moments of silence will be observed – commemorating when each of the towers was struck and collapsed, as well as the times corresponding to the attack on the Pentagon and the crash of United Flight 93.

The anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is in honour of the 2,977 people who died on September 11, 2001, when al-Qaeda terrorists seized US passenger planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center.
