Cameron says the coroner was wrong to say everyone died at or shortly after 3.15pm.

But today's report shows that that was not true.

Some people could have been saved if they had been treated differently, he suggests.

The conclusions will be "very harrowing", he says.

Anyone how has lost a child will know that the pain never leaves you.

The attorney general will have to decide whether to apply to the high court to quash the original inquest verdict.

Cameron said Dominic Grieve, the attorney general, will take a decision on this quickly. But the ultimate decision will be for the courts.

Cameron says that what happened that day and subsequently was "wrong".

The police are asked to do difficult things, he says.

But we do honest police officers a disservice if we try to defend the indefensible, he says.

Cameron says it is right for him as prime minister to make a proper apology to the families of those killed. They suffered a double injustice: the failure of the state to protect them, and then the suggestion that they were to blame.

Cameron says he is profoundly sorry for this.

Today's report is black and white. The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster, he says.

Cameron says MPs will want to thank the Hillsborough panel. And he pays tribute to the Hillsborough relatives.

At last the families have access to the truth.

[Shaggy]

Amazed by Cameron there. Amazed.

164 police statements altered by police.

The Truth.

Amazed by Cameron there. Amazed.

It just shows how damning the report must be.

I expect the s*n will issue a grovelling apology after this. half hearted of course by blaming the fact that they were following the police's reporting of events and should have been able to trust the police.

the police will be hung out to dry by all concerned. rightly as they are the main culprits but wrongly in that both the govt and the press could have done more to challenge them. lfc fans were a convenient scapegoat for all.

I'm truly staggered at the openness of this speech!...I was fearing the worse...Hats off to Cameron as truly a leader worth his weight in gold!

Maybe a trite too early to say, but it looks like the closure that we have all been looking for as supporters & the campaigners for JFT96.

[SERVO1]

It is amazing and very difficult for me to deal with, i cannot imagine how the families of those who were lost must feel hearing all this today.

so sad it took so long.
