Doncaster tree focus of city's September 11 25th anniversary memorial
The 25th anniversary of the terror attack is on Friday
A memorial tree in Doncaster is set to be the focus of the city’s 25th anniversary commemoration of the September 11 terrorist attacks this week.
The tree was planted in St Sepulchre Gate shortly after the atrocities in 2001 when nearly 3,000 people died in a string of co-ordinated terror attacks on the United States.
Friday will see memorial events around the world on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy which saw four airliners hijacked and flown into various targets, including the World Trade Center in New York and The Pentagon in Washington.
The horrific events changed the course of world history as television viewers around the world watched the tragedy unfold.
The twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed after being smashed into by the aircraft following the Al Qaeda led attack.
