Pope Benedict XVI has visited Ground Zero in New York, the scene of the 11 September 2001 attacks on Twin Towers, at the end of a six-day tour of the US.
He greeted survivors, fire and police workers, and relatives of some of the 2,749 people who died there.
The Pope prayed for the rescuers and victims, as well as "those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred".
He later celebrated Mass at New York's Yankee stadium, concluding what analysts describe as a successful trip. His visit has dominated the American media, and demand for the 55,000 tickets for Sunday's Mass far outstripped supply, reported the BBC's David Willey in New York.
