Will never forget it Gra,

was at work in London when it was announced on the radio.

At first the media was blaming hooligan and I was soooo angry.

But then (half ) the awful truth emerged.

R.I.P. to the men ,women and chlidren who tragically lost thier

lives.

Its still distresses me to this day LL, so many stories
of personal lose and grief, so many wrongs need to be
put right. Maybe one day the guilty ones will own up
and ease the suffering of many.

This is a copy of my post in the Ireland forums.

I will never forget the sight of those fantastic
Liverpool supporters ferrying the injured across
the pitch, whilst the emergency services stood
around with apparent indifference.
My heart goes out to the families and friends of
those who suffered on that terrible day.
I can only hope we never see anything like this
again and the hurt suffered by all involved eases
with the passing of time.

R.I.P. The ninety six.

It's one of those occasions where many of us will remember where we were & what we were doing at the time. I was working in a furniture factory when the terrible news came on the radio crying

That is beautiful Gra.

I remember those people too .

The ones pushed up to the fence and struggling for breath.

I remember the police trying to stop innocent people fron invading the pitch unknowingly , thinking they were trying to start trouble. When in fact they were fighting for thier lives.
I am not ashamed to say I cried like the rain for these unfortunate people sad flower

I was just listening to a couple who traveled down
from London with their two young daughters to follow
Liverpool on that day.
They had to return home without them, they had to leave
them in the temporary mortuary at the ground.
But most distressing of all is the police after informing
the their daughters had died began grilling them about
their movements before the match. Suggesting they had
been drinking the police apparently showed no compassion
whatsoever
No parent should have been made to suffer this.

I have a bit of memory of this and after reading this wondering exactly what the media here (in US) reported. I do recall it being headlined as overly zealous "hooligans" starting a riot and a stampede ensued. Now I see there is so much more to the story than I recall.

My sincerest condolences to all who have suffered. Warm wishes to all who remember and keep the memory alive.

I know ,it is awful.

And am I right in saying that Duckenfield hindered the inquiry?

He gave no help whatsoever to those grieving families sad flower

Shame I say .

No I didn't hear it Trish. I did see some time ago
the documentary shown about the terrible events on
that day and the awful aftermath.
It was in fact almost too distressing to watch.
We can only hope one day, justice will be done.

Dukinfield remains a broken man.

One of many who on that day failed to do what

was expected of them.
