A couple who met in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks have said the kindness shown to them by strangers during the tragedy has made them become better people.

Nick Marson, 72, and his now-wife Diane, 80, were flying from London Gatwick to Houston, Texas, when their flight, along with dozens of others, was redirected to Canada on September 11 2001.
