Queen Elizabeth II will visit Ground Zero for the first time and make her first address to the UN General Assembly in more than half a century when she arrives in New York tomorrow.
The 84-year-old monarch, accompanied by Prince Philip, will lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site to pay tribute to victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
She’ll also join Mayor Bloomberg to open the British Garden of Remembrance in nearby Hanover Square to honor the 67 British citizens killed on 9/11.
Her UN speech is expected to appeal for world unity and peace.
