HILLSBOROUGH DISASTER

Flowers cover Anfield in tribute to those who died in the Hillsborough disaster

Twenty years since the Hillsborough disaster

Wednesday, April 15 marks the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

Ninety-six Liverpool supporters were killed as a result of a crush at the Leppings Lane end of Sheffield Wednesday's home ground at the start of the FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989. It remains the largest stadium-related disaster in British football history.

Today, football fans will gather at Anfield to pay their respects to those who lost their lives. From 3.06pm - the time when the Semi-Final was abandoned 20 years ago - two minutes of silence will be observed.

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes to send their condolences to those who lost family or friends to the Hillsborough disaster.
