Terror ‘Still Knocks at Door of Democracy’, Says PM on 25th Anniversary of 9/11

Burnham said terrorism still threatens democracy as leaders in the UK and US marked the 25th anniversary with tributes to nearly 3,000 victims.

  • On Friday, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Andy Burnham warned that terror "still knocks at the door of democracy" during commemorative ceremonies held across the Atlantic.
  • Nearly 3,000 people—including 67 Britons—died 25 years ago when hijacked jets struck the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. The tragedy remains the deadliest terrorist attack in history, claiming victims from more than 90 nations.
  • Burnham recalled how children of 9/11 victims sent support to Manchester after terrorist outrages, proving the nations "stand together in memory of those we lost." This shared grief reinforces unity between the United Kingdom and the United States.
  • United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom Warren Stephens said the partnership "has kept us safe for centuries," noting how Britain rallied "in one of America's darkest hours" following the 2001 attack.
  • Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair emphasized that 9/11 "changed the world" and continues to do so, stating the anniversary serves to "commemorate the unshakeable and essential bond" between the two countries.
