A Liverpool MP and Hillsborough survivor has called for education on the disaster to be added to the curriculum in Greater Manchester after a minute’s silence at Wembley was disrupted.
Ian Byrne, Labour MP for Liverpool West Derby, has written to Manchester City after a number of the club’s fans disrupted a minute's silence in memory of Hillsborough victims. The incident took place before the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and City at the weekend - a game which fell one day after the 33rd anniversary of Hillsborough.
A group of City fans chanted throughout the minute's silence in memory of the 97 victims of the tragedy. The Liverpool end - and many City supporters - were outraged, with referee Michael Oliver being forced to cut short the period of remembrance.
