Hillsborough memorial
Everyone connected to Liverpool FC knows the significance of the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield. It provides a fitting location for people to pay their respects to the 97 fans who tragically lost their lives as a result of the events of April 15, 1989.
Some of the Hillsborough families have contacted the club recently regarding an increase in the number of personal tributes being left at the Hillsborough Memorial, which are unrelated to the 97.
Out of respect for the 97 and their families, only tributes relating to those fans who lost their lives as a result of the disaster should be laid at the Hillsborough Memorial. No other items or tributes should be left on or in front of the memorial and are therefore asked to be removed.
Liverpool FC and the families welcome supporters and visitors to use the garden and seating adjacent to the memorial to take time to reflect and remember their loved ones. The club is currently reviewing the wider area away from the Hillsborough Memorial for supporter tributes.
We thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
The 97 are forever in our hearts.
