NFL fans were left in raptures by an ‘incredible’ performance of the US national anthem ahead of the New York Giants‘ season opener.
The Giants faced divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in Week 1 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night – just two days after the 25th anniversary of 9/11 was commemorated in New York.
The New York franchise honored the victims of the attacks with a touching pregame ceremony before a joint NYPD-FDNY quintet performed the Star-Spangled Banner.
The quintet, dressed in uniform, delivered a beautiful a cappella rendition of the national anthem.
