Liverpool to fall silent to commemorate Hillsborough anniversary

Liverpool will fall silent to mark the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

Liverpool will hold a minute silence to mark the 33rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster on Friday, April 15. Flags will be flown at half-mast from Liverpool council buildings including St George's Hall, Cunard Building and Liverpool Town Hall.

Bells will toll 97 times at 3.06pm from the Town Hall to remember those who lost their lives as a result of the tragedy on Saturday, April 15 1989. The city will then be asked to fall silent and pause for one minute at 3.06pm - the time the match was officially stopped - to reflect on the events and those affected by them.
