Hillsborough: Minute's silence to mark anniversary of disaster

Liverpool players, staff and supporters will observe a minute's silence later to remember fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster.

Ninety-six men, women and children died when a crush developed during the FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989.

A final memorial service was due to be held at Anfield on the 31st anniversary of the tragedy but had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The silence will be held at 15:06 BST, the time the match was halted.

A date for a full service will be confirmed in the "near future", the club said.

Liverpool FC said players and staff would observe the silence and flags would be flown at half mast throughout the day in memory of those who died in the UK's worst sporting disaster.

For anyone looking for a summary, this is excellent. Traumatic, but excellent...

Tories looking after their own as do not want their "queen" Thatcher legacy tarnished!

What I don't understand is I thought the inquest in 2016 found him guilty to a criminal standard? Didn't he even admit it was his fault?

So has that judgement now been wiped out in this trial?

Just seen a fb post from pete hooton...
Duckenfield at the Warrington inquests in 2016 admitting culpability.

Double post.

It should not be about responsibility but accountability. As the senior police officer in charge, he was accountable certainly for the Police actions on the day and arguably for the coordination of all the emergency services along with oversight of the stewards too.

So Duckenfield was the sole accountable individual on the day 96 people were unlawfully killed....

For me anything less than a custodial sentence for this self confessed liar is criminal.

Incompetence is different to negligence in the eyes of the law

I fully expected this. It doesn't ease the disappointment but I would have been shocked if he had been found guilty
