Remembrance services are to be held in the United States to mark the eighth anniversary of the hijacked plane attacks of 11 September 2001.
Nearly 3,000 people died when the four planes crashed in New York, at the Pentagon and in a Pennsylvania field.
President Barack Obama will speak at the Pentagon site and Americans have been encouraged to contribute to a national day of service.
US soldiers in Afghanistan completed a 9.11km (5.5 mile) run to mark the day.
'Sacrifices of thousands'
Traditional ceremonies including moments of silence and the reading of the names of the victims will take place at the sites of the attacks.
President Obama will join defence secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon, where 184 people died, to meet members of victims' families and lay a wreath.
