The Duke of York in New York

We neglected to mention Prince Andrew’s recent visit to New York in commemoration of the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Sixty-seven British subjects died in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and eleven more were non-citizens with British ties. A ceremony was held in Hanover Square, where the British Memorial Garden is being built, followed by a reception at India House, which is located at No. 1 Hanover Square (the brown edifice in the photos above and below).

The Choir of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor sang at the memorial service. It was the Choir’s first performance in America for over twenty years.

The Duchess and Duke of York observe a minute’s silence alongside Camilla Hellman, President of the British Memorial Garden Trust.

After the service, Prince Andrew took a moment to chat with the choristers of St. George’s.
