Service honours the 96 Hillsborough tragedy victims

Families of Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough will gather at Liverpool FC's Anfield home later for the annual memorial service.

The service, marking the tragedy's 24th anniversary, is the first since the Hillsborough Independent Panel exonerated fans of blame.

Relatives of the dead will be joined by thousands of supporters.

On Sunday two memorials were unveiled in the city honouring the 96 fans who died as a result of the disaster.

The memorial was unveiled on Old Haymarket in a public ceremony, attended by 300 people, while an antique clock was installed at Liverpool Town Hall and set to 15:06, the time of tragedy.

In September the independent panel blamed police and other agencies for the disaster at the football stadium in Sheffield when fans were crushed to death.

It also highlighted the subsequent cover-up following the abandoned FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

The service is expected to include readings by Liverpool owner John Henry and Everton chairman Bill Kenwright.

A minute`s silence will be held at 15:06 BST, with the names of the 96 fans who died read out and a candle lit in memory of each victim.
