9-11 A tribute

The Duke of York, representing the Queen and US ambassador William Farish (left) standing solemnly side-by-side as a military band plays the US national anthem for the first time at a special the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. There were a crowd of well-wishers eight deep at the Palace railings that waved flags, clapped and cheered. The two men stared grim-faced ahead as the anthem gave way to a two-minute silence to honour the victims of the atrocities in New York and Washington. This was followed by the British national anthem. Then the band from the outgoing Number 7 Company, Coldstream Guards, played a selection of sombre US music, including Hymn for the Fallen, written by US composer John Williams and used in the final credits of the film, Saving Private Ryan. 14th September 2001.
