LFC to mark 34th anniversary of Hillsborough

A minute’s silence will be observed prior to kick-off on Sunday to remember the children, women and men who lost their lives as a result of the events that occurred at the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

A mosaic will also be displayed on the Kop during the minute of silence, featuring the Eternal Flames with the number 97.

The team will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and there will be a commemorative edition of the matchday programme. Tributes will also be displayed on LED boards surrounding the pitch.

Academy players will take part in a range of events to mark the anniversary, including a visit to Hillsborough stadium and the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield, education sessions, and a memorial football tournament with Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest.

On Saturday April 15, players and staff across the club will observe a minute’s silence in memory of the 97 fans who lost their lives.

April 15 is such a significant and poignant date in the club’s history and one that brings the LFC family together in remembrance and thought. It is important for us as a club and community to come together to remember the 97 who lost their lives and share our love and support for their families and the survivors.
