Earlier this week, Queen Elizabeth II issued a statement to U.S. President Joe Biden to express her deepest condolences to the 9/11 victims, as well as to those impacted by the devastating event.
“As we mark the 20th anniversary of the terrible attacks on 11th September 2001, my thoughts and prayers – and those of my family and the entire nation – remain with the victims, survivors and families affected, as well as the first responders and rescue workers called to duty,” the queen’s message read on The Royal Family Instagram account.
“My visit to the site of the World Trade Center in 2010 is held fast in my memory,” her statement continued. “It reminds me that as we honour those from many nations, faith and backgrounds who lost their lives, we also pay tribute to the resilience and determination of the communities who joined together to rebuild.”
