Families and friends gathered Saturday to pay tribute to the loved ones they lost at a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony at Haverstraw Bay Park.

The somber commemoration was held near the twisted steel beam from the South Tower that's part of the memorial. Children laid red roses along the memorial wall as the names of the local lives lost were read aloud by their families.

Bells tolled and moments of silence were observed to commemorate the exact times of the attacks nine years ago.
