On April 15 1989, Thousands of Liverpool fans travelled to a Sheffield to support their beloved club in an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough.

96 never came home.

They will never be forgotten.

I am not from Liverpool. I have no story to tell. But as a life long Liverpool fan I have 96 reasons to remember that fateful day and at 15:06 on 15th April I will pay my respects to the fans who lost their lives.

You'll Never Walk Alone.
