Players and staff from Liverpool FC paid respects to those who died 35 years ago in the Hillsborough disaster by laying wreaths at the Hillsborough Memorial.

Today marks the 35th anniversary of the disaster, in which ninety-seven people died in a crowd crush at Hillsborough stadium during an FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.

“Always in our hearts, the 97 will never be forgotten,” said one card signed “From Matt, Niamh, and the LFCW team” that was laid alongside the wreaths.
