Liverpool fans to unveil Andrew Devine Hillsborough memorial on Spion Kop

A Liverpool FC fan said the "Hillsborough families should know everyone remembers the 97" as she plans to unveil a memorial to Andrew Devine in South Africa.

Sioux Gijzen told the ECHO a group of South African LFC fans, led by the late Guy Prowse, funded a memorial bench in honour of the victims of the disaster in 2010. The memorial bench, made of 96 slats with a plaque above it listing the 96 names, is a permanent fixture at Spion Kop Lodge, South Africa.

Sioux, a native South African who now lives near the Brecon Beacons in Wales, said the bench is also branded with two eternal flames in memory of those who lost their lives at the Heysel and Hillsborough disaster. A group of Liverpool fans, including Sioux and piper Dave Walters, held a memorial service every year between 2007 and 2016.
