LFC FoundationLFC pays respects on 36th anniversary of Hillsborough tragedy
Tributes are being paid across Liverpool Football Club today to mark the 36th anniversary of the disaster at Hillsborough.
On April 15, 1989, the tragedy at the FA Cup semi-final between the Reds and Nottingham Forest led to 97 supporters being unlawfully killed.
They will never be forgotten.
This morning, coaches and captains from the club’s men’s, women’s, U21s and U18s teams laid wreaths at the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield, alongside chief legal officer Jonathan Bamber and ambassadors Natasha Dowie and Ian Rush.
The men’s, women’s and Academy squads will each observe a minute’s silence before their training sessions, and the whole club will fall silent at 3.06pm, the time at which the match in 1989 was stopped.
At Anfield, 97 biodegradable balloons will be released after the club-wide silence, in honour of the children, women and men who died in the disaster.
Flags are being flown at half-mast at LFC sites. The Anfield retail store will close at 1pm and museum and stadium tours access will cease at the same time.
