The 97 Liverpool fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster are to be commemorated on Grand National Day this year.
Aintree racecourse has chosen to remember the tragic events because this year’s big race will be staged on April 15, the day of its 34th anniversary.
The crowd will be invited to join a minute’s applause to remember the victims of the fatal crush in the crowd at the Sheffield Wednesday stadium before the FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989.
