Hillsborough Disaster Memorial

On 15 April 1989, at the FA Cup semi-final, 97 Liverpool FC fans lost their lives (94 on the day, three later) in a terrible crush in this Sheffield stadium. The memorial at Hillsborough is understandably more low-key than the one at Anfield, but if you want to pay your respects, you can follow the example of others by leaving flowers, messages of condolence, or the shirt or scarf of the team you support.
