Remains of 11 September man identified

The remains of a British man killed in the terrorist attack on New York on 11 September were identified yesterday.

Geoff Campbell, 31, from Northampton, was in a meeting on the 106th floor of the World Trade Centre's north tower when the first plane hit. He worked in Times Square as a risk analyst for Reuters. He had been in America for two years, during which he met his American fiancée, Caroline Burkbank. He was among 67 Britons killed in the attacks.

Mr Campbell's mother, Maureen, on behalf of his father, Mac, and two brothers, Rob and Matt, said in a statement: "This has been a very difficult nine months for our family and for everyone who knew him. I would like to thank everyone for their continuing support, in particular extended family members, friends and his colleagues, which has made us realise how many lives Geoff touched."
