Football remembers the 96 - You'll Never Walk Alone 14:57 - Apr 15 with 2748 views

The football community unites today on the 25th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

The annual Remembrance Service at Anfield is especially poignant this year, with the ongoing inquest into the deaths of the 96 Liverpool fans suspended as a mark of respect but hopefully bringing long-overdue justice for victims & families in due course.

Overview here:

Last night, BBC 5Live's Mark Pougatch presented a special programme to examine how survivors and witnesses were affected by the events of that day:

I hope all Rams fans will take a minute of their time today to think of those who never returned from their football match, and how the tragedy has affected families & friends of those lost.

The article linked here includes MP Andy Burnham's inspirational words at the Anfield Memorial Service.

Burnham took up the case for the 96 victims & their families in 2009, after 20 years of establishment lies & whitewash about the Hillsborough tragedy:
