The 96 fans were found unlawfully killed by a jury on Tuesday, while Steve Rotheram, MP for Liverpool Walton, was pleased by the decision too.
Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham has welcomed the Hillsborough verdict and the end to "the greatest miscarriage of justice of our time."
A jury concluded by majority decision that the 96 individuals who were fatally injured in the disaster in 1989 were unlawfully killed and were not themselves to blame in any way for the tragedy.
The Crown Prosecution Service later confirmed that it will formally consider whether any criminal charges must now be brought against individuals and organisations deemed responsible for the disaster.
