Tributes are being paid across Liverpool Football Club to mark the 32nd anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.
Ninety-six children, women and men lost their lives as a result of the events that unfolded on April 15, 1989 at the FA Cup semi-final between the Reds and Nottingham Forest.
They will never be forgotten.
This morning, LFC CEO Billy Hogan and Sir Kenny Dalglish, and the respective managers and captains of the club’s men’s, women’s, U23s and U18s teams, laid floral wreaths at the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield.
Watch: Wreaths laid at Anfield's Hillsborough memorial
Club staff and players will subsequently observe a minute’s silence, with the first-team squad joined by club chaplain Bill Bygroves beside the Hillsborough memorial in place at the AXA Training Centre.
At 3.06pm, the time at which the 1989 match was stopped, 96 balloons will be released at Anfield as a poignant tribute to the 96 supporters who died in the disaster.
