A day to remember at Ground Zero

As millions in the US and around the world remembered the terror attacks five years ago, Tuesday's papers picked out the images which best illustrated the mood.

"A Day to Remember" is how the Independent sums up the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

While the US mourned, the impact of the war on terror was being felt around the world, the paper said, alongside photos of a suicide bombing in Baghdad.

For the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Daily Star, it's the poignant sight of seven-year-old Patricia Smith which provides their leading image.

She was mourning her policewoman mother who was among the nearly 3,000 dead.

'Allies no more'

The Times says almost half the families who gathered at Ground Zero still have no trace of their loved ones.

And the paper says it has learnt that some of the US's closest Nato allies have abandoned Washington in the so-called war on terror.

Five years after 9/11, when the world stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the US, it reveals a change in attitude.

Many of the countries that pledged support then have now ignored an urgent request for help fighting the Taleban.

TUC tension

At 2.30pm on Tuesday, Tony Blair addresses the TUC, and the Guardian predicts his last speech to the conference could spark a walkout.

There's growing union unrest, it says, and that's been heightened after health workers backed the first national strike in the NHS for 18 years.

Considering Mr Blair's trip to the Middle East, the Sun believes it took courage to face protesters there.

He knew he was walking into the lion's den when he visited Beirut, it says.

Cameron plaudits

The Guardian and the Daily Mail are also in review mode, choosing David Cameron's first foreign policy speech since taking over as Tory leader.

He impressed the Guardian with the ease and confidence he showed - "genuinely refreshing" it thinks.

The Mail was also happy with Mr Cameron's performance.

He was right to question the special relationship, right to speak in its defence and right to condemn President Bush's Republican supporters, it says.
