City silent in memory of fans tragedy

A MOMENT'S silence has been held 35 years on from the Hillsborough disaster.

Ninety-seven men, women and children died following the tragedy at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15 1989.

Yesterday, at 3.06pm, the time the match was stopped, a minute's silence was observed in Liverpool.

Members of the public gathered in Exchange Flags, behind the town hall, where You'll Never Walk Alone was played.

Ninety-seven balloons were released at Anfield in memory of those who lost their lives.
