The Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance has marked the 35th anniversary of the Hillborough Disaster by vowing to “never forget” the memory of the victims.
During an FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989, 97 people died in a crowd crush at Hillsborough stadium.
On social media, the group posted: “35 years ago we all went to a football match, full of hope, on the sunniest of days. Us, the survivors returned, our lives changed forever, we lost the person that left home on that sunny morning. Today we remember the 97 and those we have lost along the way.”
An inquest in 2016 determined that the disaster, which took place during a game between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest, was caused by “gross negligence” from the game’s match commander, who should be held “responsible for manslaughter.”
