On the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York City, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, Ambassador and Mrs. Robert H. Tuttle laid a wreath at a memorial in London honoring British victims. Accompanying them were State Department Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy James Glassman and his wife, as well as Deputy Chief of Mission Richard LeBaron.

67 Britons were among the people who died in the attacks in 2001.
