Liverpool stops to remember Hillsborough

THOUSANDS of Liverpool fans gathered in Anfield to remember the 96 people who died in Hillsborough some 21 years ago.

Thousands more gathered outside the football ground, while millions more took time out to pay their respects on what remains, 21 years later to the day, one of the most tragic moments in the history of football.

A minute’s silence was observed at 3.06pm, the moment when the 1989 FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest was halted as officials realised fans were being crushed on the terraces.
