Three choirs will travel to New York City to take part in a series of events to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

Lothian and Borders Police Choir, Tayside Police Choir and InChorus, which is a community choir from Peebles in the Borders, will perform a song created by conductor Andrew Russel which mixes the hymn Amazing Grace with the American patriotic song The Star Spangled Banner.

The choirs say it is a “gift” from Scotland to the people of New York to demonstrate their compassion for lives lost and support for communities affected by the atrocities.

Mr Russel will lead the groups, who leave tomorrow morning from Edinburgh airport, as they prepare to perform at a number of official events including The September Concert, a commemorative service at the British Garden at Hanover Square and the New York Police Department Commemoration Concert, as well as giving free performances in various locations across Manhattan.
