Stockbroker Jeremy Carrington was killed, along with hundreds of his colleagues, in the terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center on 11 September, 2001.

Mr Carrington, 34, was at his desk on the 105th floor of the north tower when one of two planes hijacked by al Qaeda fanatics was deliberately flown into the building.

He and 657 other employees of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, who were trapped in the floors above the point of impact, died in the ensuing chaos as the tower was engulfed in flames and eventually collapsed.

All of Cantor Fitzgerald’s staff, including brokers, traders, technology specialists, and secretaries, who were in the office on the morning of the 2001 attacks, lost their lives.

The firm’s New York office was based on the 101st to 105th floors, and it lost around two-thirds of its workforce that day - the greatest single loss suffered by any organisation in the atrocity, including the New York police and fire departments.

Brought up in Essex, Mr Carrington had lived in New York for 12 years, having met his wife, Pattie, there. He had previously survived the bombing of the twin towers in 1993.

Mr Carrington was also survived by his mother, Catherine Ross, from Gillingham, Dorset.
