    The 9/11 structure has now been moved from Battersea Park to a warehouse in Cambridgeshire. According to the Independent, the fact it's not yet got a permanent home could put the relationship between America and England under strain. A Wandsworth Council spokesperson said: "We stepped in at the last minute to allow it to be on display for the 9/11 anniversary, as there was nowhere else for it to go when it arrived in Britain. Had we not made an offer, it would have remained locked in a warehouse in Liverpool."
