LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - APRIL 26: A banner reading Truth and Justice is hung from Liverpool's Saint George's Hall and illuminated in red after today's Hillsborough inquest verdict on April 26, 2016 in Liverpool, England. The fresh inquests into the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 football supporters were crushed to death, concluded today on April 26, 2016 with a verdict of unlawful killing, after the initial verdicts were quashed. Relatives of Liverpool supporters who died in Britain's worst sporting disaster gathered in the purpose-built court to hear the jury's verdict in Warrington after a 25 year fight to overturn the accidental death verdicts handed down at the initial 1991 inquiry.

15^th April 1989 was a dark day in the game of football. Termed as the “Hillsborough Disaster”, 96 precious lives were lost due to a stampede that occurred during FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Hillsborough was the worst disaster English football has ever experienced and it has subsequently led to numerous reforms that make the current match-day experience a much safer one.

For every Liverpool fan, the 15^th of April remains a day of mourning. Yes, we do not share blood and we may not be from the same country, but we are a part of the same family that is Liverpool and will never forget the 96 who lost their lives on that terrible day.
