Music will fill the air in Lower Manhattan as the British Memorial Garden Trust, Inc. presents a community Memorial Concert of British music on September 11, 2006, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.

The concert, which starts at 12:30 p.m. in Hanover Square, will feature:

• the Choir of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle
• the West Yorkshire Police Brass Band
• the New York Scottish Pipes and Drums Band.

An Honor Guard of 67 British Police Officers from Protect the Protectors will form on the perimeter of the garden where the Memorial Railing is to be built. The officers represent the 67 British life lost on September 11, 2001. There will be a short ceremony and a Moment of Silence for all the victims of 9/11.

The British Memorial Garden Trust's Memorial Concert is part of the September Concert Series and New York-London Sister Cities Program. It will end with the musicians and audience singing "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. An international initiative, September Concerts are being held all over the world on September 11th, including one in London's Grosvenor Square, also sponsored by the British Memorial Garden Trust.

"The British Memorial Garden is being built not only to commemorate the British victims of 9/11," said Camilla G. Hellman, President of the British Memorial Garden Trust. "It is also dedicated to celebrating the strong historic ties of friendship and unity between the United States and the United Kingdom. A gift to the City and people of New York from the Anglo-American community and friends, this British garden at Hanover Square is being funded by donations from individuals, corporations and foundations."
