Tributes are being paid throughout Liverpool Football Club and the metropolis right this moment to mark the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.
Ninety-seven males, girls and kids misplaced their lives because of this of the catastrophe that occurred at the FA Cup semi-final between the Reds and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.
They won’t ever be forgotten.
This morning, LFC CEO Billy Hogan and Sir Kenny Dalglish, and the respective managers and captains of the membership’s males’s and girls’s groups, laid wreaths at the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield.
So too did representatives of the Reds’ U21s and U18s squads, in addition to membership ambassadors Ian Rush, John Barnes and Natasha Dowie.
At 3.06pm – the time at which the 1989 match was stopped – workers and gamers throughout the membership will fall silent and 97 biodegradable balloons will likely be launched at Anfield as a poignant tribute to the 97 supporters who died in the catastrophe.
Flags are being flown at half-mast all through the day at membership websites and civic buildings in Liverpool as the metropolis pauses in remembrance.
