Kurt was born and bred in New York, and on moving to Bexhill in 1999, opened a hairdressers, the name of which was a tribute in itself: Hair Concepts of New York, Cooden Sea Road.

He worked in and around the World Trade Centre for 22 years.

He said: "I really felt strongly about putting this tribute here because I haven't been able to get back to New York since it happened.

It had quite a profound effect on me - it's just something that never goes away, it's always on your mind.

"I am going back to see New York as soon as possible."
