Liverpool falls silent on 33rd anniversary of Hillsborough disaster to remember the 97

Liverpool fell silent today to mark the 33rd anniversary of Hillsborough and to honour the 97 people unlawfully killed in the disaster.

The bells at Liverpool Town Hall tolled 97 times at 3.06pm while flags were flown at half mast in tribute, as Lord Mayor Cllr Mary Rasmussen led the silence in Exchange Flags. Emotional tributes were paid across Merseyside in respect to the victims and their families.

Liverpool FC legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was the Reds manager on the day of the tragedy in 1989, was one of many to lay a floral wreath at the Anfield Hillsborough memorial. He was joined by current manager Jurgen Klopp and captain Jordan Henderson.
