REGARDING the attacks on the World Trade Centre, in New York, on September 11, 2001.
My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in New York on the same day the towers were destroyed.
We had just enjoyed a beautiful breakfast, courtesy of the hotel, when we saw the awful event on TV.
We were so shocked by the pictures that we saw that we just sat there watching the news coverage and feeling so very numb.
We felt very sorry for the emergency services.
All we could see from our hotel room was fire engines, police cars and black smoke moving up the avenue.
We will never forget it.
To this day, we feel so very sorry for the people of New York.
Mrs M Dulling, Shildon.
