Hillsborough

The 1989 Hillsborough disaster claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool FC fans. Since that day families and survivors have fought to discover the truth about the tragedy. September 12, 2012, was a momentous day as the findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel were published. Three months later the accidental death verdicts were quashed at the High Court paving the way for fresh inquests, being held in Warrington.
