Video | Led by the Lord Mayor, Cllr Mary Rasmussen, and Council Leader Cllr @liamrobinson24, the people of #Liverpool observed a minutes silence in memory of the 97 people who were unlawfully killed at the #Hillsborough disaster 35 years ago today.

Remembering the 97 people who died #Hillsborough and always in awe of the faithful love with which their families and the city of Liverpool fought for and honour them. #ynwabbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Hillsborough 35 years on: the 97 people who died, as remembered by their families in deeply loving personal statements.
theguardian.com/football/ng-in…
Nobody should ever attend a football match and not come home.
Our thoughts are with @LFC as we remember the 97 supporters who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough tragedy.
While there is, rightly, a lot of focus on the tragedy today, the impact of the Hillsborough disaster is felt all year round.
This makes the work of @HillsboroughSu1 invaluable. Find out how you can support it at the link below ⬇️

Labour and Keir Starmer have reaffirmed their commitment to bringing in a Hillsborough Law in full if they are elected to government
liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
They are not just 97 people. They are not just the 97. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters.
They are people, loved and cherished. Every one of the 97 people who died at Hillsborough has a story. Never Forgotten.
On the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, Keir Starmer committing again to 'Hillsborough Law'.
Police and public authorities would have a legally-mandated duty of candour, and bereaved families would have equal funding for legal representation - vitally needed.

Prior to the match today, I took some moments to reflect on what happened 35 years ago by sitting on the wonderful Survivors Bench opposite the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield. I was just one of the lucky ones that horrendous day. #LFC#YNWA#JFT97#Hillsborough
As always,love to those who saved lives,who told the truth,who would not be silenced,who fought & campaigned when the establishment was against them.
Those who were innocent
My love and respect to all @LFC and @NFFC fans who witnessed & survived Hillsborough
@HillsboroughSu1 ❤️
Film we made in 2016, a short guide to the Hillsborough disaster and the inquest, which found that the 97 people were unlawfully killed due to South Yorkshire police gross negligence, and rejected the toxic police lies blaming Liverpool supporters.
theguardian.com/uk-news/video/…
35 years ago we all went to a football match, full of hope, on the sunniest of days.
97 men, women and children never returned. They're not just a number, they had lives and dreams, families that love them now and always.
Us, the survivors returned, our lives changed forever, we…
