Wells Cathedral, together with Wells Cathedral School, is holding a service of Remembrance, Sorrow and Hope on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

BOLTON will mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 with a special service. Firefighters and council bosses have organised the service, which will be held in Victoria Square, to remember the thousands of innocent victims, including hundreds of firefighters, who lost their lives in the terrorist attack. A procession from Bolton Central, including the Mayor of Bolton, Cllr Noel Spencer, will make its way to Victoria Square for the 1.30pm service. A minute’s silence will be held at 1.46pm — our time — when the first plane hit the World Trade Centre.

Because this year’s Show coincides with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America, which cost the lives of so many emergency services personnel, there will be a memorial balloon launch during the afternoon to pay tribute to the fallen. A total of 911 balloons will be released, with members of the public able to purchase tags and add their own messages.
