Memorials have been held all over the world to commemorate those who lost their lives on September 11 2001
Six moments of silence were held in New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to mark the moments when, 20 years ago, the four planes crashed and the Twin Towers subsequently collapsed
Former President Bush and current Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who paid tribute to the passengers and crew on Flight 93, which crashed in a field after they stormed the cockpit
The names of the nearly 3,000 who died in the attacks were read out at the memorials
Tributes have also poured in from friends and relatives of those who died, and survivors of the attacks have shared their stories with LBC
