Pope Benedict XVI has visited Ground Zero in New York.
Benedict was driven in the popemobile part-way down a ramp now used mostly by construction trucks to a spot by the north tower's footprint. He walked the final steps, knelt in silent prayer for a few moments, then rose to light a memorial candle.
He also offered prayers for rescuers, victims, as well as "those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred".
The Pope will later celebrate Mass at New York's Yankees stadium before flying home.
It will be the conclusion to what observers say has been a successful trip.
