Many of us paid tribute yesterday to the 343 New York City firefighters who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001 attacks and to the 68 New Zealand firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Around the country, many brigades, stations and crews paid tribute in their own ways. Here’s a few snippets from social media - click the links below. And read on to see photos from the day. In some of these you will see New York Fire Chiefs Kevin Harrison and Steve Spall who said they were 'humbled' to be part of the memorial.
