BBC News - 9/11 anniversary: National Memorial in New York opens
The huge memorial pools are located on the original World Trade Center site, amid ongoing construction of the new skyscraper
The New York memorial to those killed on 9/11 is due to open to the public, a day after its dedication on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
The National 9/11 Memorial will open its doors to several thousand people at 10:00 on Monday (14:00 GMT).
It includes the names of 2,983 people killed by al-Qaeda in New York, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.
On Sunday night, President Barack Obama said Americans should honour those who died but look forward with "hope".
He said the decade since the attacks showed the resolve of those in the US to defend their way of life.
The ideal that "men and women should govern themselves... has only been strengthened", Mr Obama said.
Mr Obama was speaking during a memorial concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, closing a day of official commemorations marking the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
Bronze names
The opening of the memorial in New York will see several thousand visitors each day allowed into the area once occupied by the World Trade Center towers.
Ongoing construction work in the vicinity - most notably of the unfinished One World Trade Center, the new skyscraper being erected by the site - means visitor numbers are being restricted at present.

Drunk Swedish elk found in apple tree near Gothenburg
A homeowner in southern Sweden got a shock when he found a drunken elk stuck in his neighbour's apple tree.
The animal was apparently on the hunt for fermenting apples when she lost her balance and became trapped in the tree.
Per Johansson, from Saro near Gothenburg, found the elk making a roaring noise in the garden next door.
He called the emergency services, who helped him free the boozed-up beast by sawing off branches. She spent the night recovering in the garden.
The next day she took herself off into the woods with her hangover.
It is not unusual to see elk, or moose as they are known in North America, drunk in Sweden during autumn, when there are plenty of apples about.
Other residents of Saro had seen the elk on the loose in the preceding days.
Mr Johansson said the elk appeared to be sick, drunk, or "half-stupid", the Associated Press reported.

Video: Indy car goes airborne
Filed under: Motorsport
Getting rear-ended at any speed is no fun, but getting rear ended while braking at the end of a 180mph straight in an Indy Car is even less enjoyable.
Thankfully no-one was hurt in this incident at the Baltimore Grand Prix on Sunday, which saw Tony Kanaan lose his brakes at 180mph and cannon into the rear three-quarters of Helio Castroneves' car, sending him flying into the air and narrowly missing a marshall.
In fact, the crash did Kanaan a favour, as it slowed him down heavily while he was flying towards the sharp right hand bend at the end of the straight.
He certainly recognised this, saying to Castroneves later on Twitter that "if wasn't for you my friend I wouldn't be here".
But the two drivers weren't the only ones with a lucky escape: look closely at the left hand side of the track at 0.42 seconds to see the white suited marshall who has his quick reactions to thank for his survival.
