Tributes were paid at Anfield this morning to the 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy.
A wreath was laid at the stadium’s Hillsborough memorial and a commemorative banner placed inside the ground as marks of respect on the 31st anniversary of the disaster, which unfolded during the FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.
The message on the wreath reads:
We stand together today as a family to remember the 96 Liverpool fans – men, women and children – who so tragically lost their lives at Hillsborough.
