Margaret named Mum of Year

4th Mar 2013 - Latest News

Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall was named a Mum of the Year at a star-studded ceremony this weekend.

Margaret, whose son James died at the 1989 stadium tragedy, is chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group.

Over the past 12 months she, the families and their supporters have seen the truth about Hillsborough come out - and they continue to fight for justice.

That is why she was guest of honour at London's Savoy Hotel yesterday, where she accepted the Tesco Campaigning Mum of the Year award on behalf of the families.

Former Spice Girl Mel C collected the Celebrity Mum of the Year award. The picture below of Margaret (centre) was posted on the HFSG Facebook page.

After receiving the honour, Margaret said: "We can't get our loved ones back, but we can get what we achieved - which is the truth.

"I think it's a good legacy to leave behind because this can never be allowed to happen again to anyone."

The ceremony will be shown on Channel 5 on Mother's Day.
