On the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, the United Kingdom remembers the near 3,000 people who lost their lives on that terrible day, including 67 British citizens.
We pay tribute to all those affected including frontline emergency workers, who continue to confront the threat of terrorism and put their lives at risk to protect others. We honour the courage and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces who have lost their lives in the fight against terrorism.
Britain stood with our American friends a quarter of a century ago. We stand with you today. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Our last hidden @BritishArmy sniper! Can you find them?
Remember that military training can happen without obvious signs of activity, so always follow local access guidance.

Blended perfectly into their environment is a @britisharmy sniper. We’re giving you 15s to find them. Did you manage it? Being aware of what’s around you on military land is key to staying safe. Live training can’t always be seen or heard #RespectTheRange @DefenceHQ @BritishArmy

Hidden somewhere in this video is a highly skilled @BritishArmy sniper concealed on Salisbury Plain Training Area.
Just because you can't see or hear military activity doesn't mean it isn't taking place. Always follow safety advice.
