FIREFIGHTERS across Wiltshire shared a minute's silence to express solidarity with their New York colleagues and to commemorate the victims of the September 11 terrorist attack.
Off-duty firefighters joined working colleagues at the Dallas Road fire station in Chippenham for a parade and the silence on the forecourt at 1.46pm.
"It is an emotional time for us," said sub officer Dave Jacomb. "The events of a year ago are very much in our minds. We have all been thinking about it over the last week."
Shops and offices all over the district, including those in Malmesbury, fell silent for one and two-minute silences in remembrance of the events.
A bell tolled at St Andrew's Church, in Chippenham, before 1.46pm, and silence descended on the shops and the High Street.
All the shops in the town's Emery Gate centre took part.
