The senior police officer in charge on the day of the Hillsborough disaster in England has arrived at court to give evidence at the new inquests.

A senior officer who was in charge of policing Liverpool fans outside Hillsborough football stadium on the day of the 1989 disaster has said he had "profound regrets" that he did not ask for the match kick-off to be delayed.

The “very many individual human tragedies” of the Hillsborough disaster have been laid bare in an emotionally-charged opening to the fresh inquests into the deaths of the 96 football fans who died.
