Britain's Prince Harry attended the official naming of the British Memorial Garden near the World Trade Center site today.

The 24-year-old royal joined Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe and other officials for the dedication at Hanover Square in Lower Manhattan.

The prince helped plant a tree after the official naming.

The garden honors the 67 British nationals who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks.

"It is a great privilege for me to be here today in this beautiful garden right in the heart of New York City," said the prince. "My family is so proud to be so closely associated with it."

The prince visited the World Trade Center site earlier in the day and met with relatives of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

He laid a wreath containing a handwritten note that read "In respectful memory of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, and in admiration of the courage shown by the people of this great city on that day." It was signed, "Harry."

The prince then visited a firehouse across from the World Trade Center site. He broke away from his security detail to a street around the corner to look at a bronze memorial to 343 firefighters killed in the attacks.

Tomorrow, Harry will wrap up his two-day trip with a visit to the Harlem Children's Zone, which offers families social and educational services. He will also take part in a charity polo match on Governors Island.
