They are heroes & history makers ...we owe them a debt of gratitude

As dawn broke on the United Kingdom's most famous and most secure street, four figures emerged.
-
With the bright Autumn morning sun bathing Downing Street in a golden glow, Margaret Aspinall, Steve Kelly, Charlotte Hennessy and Sue Roberts strolled calmly together towards the heart of this nation's power - a nation that they have changed forever for the better.
These four ordinary people never asked for these extraordinary moments, they were brought here by tragedy, by injustice and by their own relentless determination.
And make no mistake, this was an extraordinary moment.
The Prime Minister stepped out of Number 10 to greet the four Hillsborough family members, with the same respect he affords the most powerful leaders on earth. Too bloody right. No one deserves it more.
After warm embraces, the families were led inside alongside some of the campaigners and key figures who have worked tirelessly over many years to make this day - when a Hillsborough Law was to be finally laid before Parliament - a stunning, emotional reality.
As you climb the grand staircase inside number 10, the walls are adorned with all the Prime Ministers who have ruled over this country.
When it comes to Hillsborough and the fight for justice, truth and real change - there are many on that wall who let these people down.
Inside the building's distinguished White Drawing Room, lined with ornate golden fixtures and historic paintings, these four normal people prepared to make history. But not before some dry Scouse humour, of course.
It was suggested that once the PM entered the room everyone would stand and embrace.
