was a day that started off with so much hope and optimism on kind of childlike excitement it's the semifinal of the f.a. cup so we managed to get to with him to the hills were area of sheffield roundabout sort of 2 o'clock so we said ok we'll paul cope we'll find a pub we're going to drink and then we'll make our way to the ground. when we got into the pope it was actually mainly in forest fans in the it was a really good atmosphere everybody left you know in you know in pretty good spirits and in good time to walk through the park and get to the ground and that was really the 1st time that i began to think that something was not quite right and something was was you know very very different.
9:36 am
thinking back to those days. without a doubt the most traumatic time of my life the darkest day ever. we wouldn't have been. spoke 12 it was so quiet and. we'd only. the labs he was sitting next to me he was the youngest person and he died it was the usual people kind of you know kiran all excited seeing going. and it just added to get in the ground.
9:37 am
if you ask me when i want to go on the 15th i like to. say and it's that much on full expectation that a fantastic team that's on very entertaining scene and of course walking down to the grounds that anticipation and into the ground so that anticipation i did not a hint about was going to call it busy and. basically the day taint. quite quickly. grow for full grown already so its $54000.00 capacity came under severe pressure as an extra 100 teams of attorneys is going to make it to liverpool.
9:38 am
on the think we we've been amongst the last to go in the grounds and then. in all john. and then i lost me for. well when i. when i regained before i was all not satisfied but all the way to. home. i just feel like you know people have never experienced before. right. the wrong. they. like me arms that are stretched.

was forced off the fence to make eye contact with the policeman and if i remember i didn't swear it was almost in slow motion as a police officer pointed at me and just. get back now i had no room for maneuver we were trapped you seen and i just. are the people squished against the fence that's the view that the police put out when they were staring literally staring people in the face who would dying in front of them they were 1st of all unwilling and then i think incapable of going to the rescue because people were dying in front of them human beings were dying in front of them and i can only assume that their attitude was well you know they've brought it on themselves you know if they're going to behave like that they brought it on themselves it's their fault. ambulances worsened and stayed in that movement 40 of them remained. if you'd been wounded rethinking of the situation inside this crowd and that's.
9:42 am
9:43 am
and no stage there's no mobile phones so you pick a lot. of them again and i waited in there that this place that prevails place would sit for what seemed like forever so we said for ages it was all the people coming back in the streets and everything and then some time later. 3 friends who came to the game with. me and we hoped each other. and people like to shake hands and meet each other these days in the. 1980 s. you men didn't do very emotional when you're all together after the end because you're walking around the days you didn't the way. you did the way you would go a. little bit of a vet and they just said you need to phone home. phones my parents and set up a lot. of the it's go and open says he to 40 to 50 to just

9:46 am
the paper in question the sun with its own distorted version of events in which it blamed the fans under a now notorious headline. when the headline came out of i was absolutely outraged i could have killed the journalist that's how annoyed it was the headline and accompanying report prompted a boycotts of the sun across liverpool including among many fans of city rivals edits and many newsagents refused to even sell the paper. the anger and outrage back then never went away completely the sun remained unforgotten and unforgiven. you know for 23 years of my life i've been painted as a drum considerateness matter on
9:47 am
a lot of it was to do with the lies that we would consider in the the sun newspaper and in the boycott of the paper the little poem now is stronger than it's ever day which i think says something about the conduct of the people in liverpool. and fields of liverpool f.c. and a place of pilgrimage for fans from around the world here to the memory of hillsborough is on the present. you'll never walk alone seeing the fans at every game and it seems nobody does here .
9:48 am
this stadium is home to one of several hillsborough memorials it lists the names of all the 96 victims the youngest of them just 10 years old. thank you mr speaker mrs reagan yesterday marked a momentous day for the family and friends of the 96 victims of the hillsborough disaster over the last 27 years their search for justice has been met with obfuscation and hostility is said of sympathy and aunt says as i said to the house in 2012 about the hillsborough independent panel's report it's wrong that the families had to wait for so long and to fight so hard just to get to the truth. in 2009 and independent commission was set up to investigate the real truth behind
9:49 am
the tragedy and held its meetings in liverpool cathedral. 41 people therefore had evidence to change to survive after if you read through 15. more anguish for relatives of those who lost their lives but among the findings of the independent panel's reports published in 2012 exoneration for the fans 23 years after the event. got a bust. in addition to the sun the initial police report had likewise blamed supporters but in 1991 the official coroner's inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death. later families undertook a series of private prosecutions blaming the police but to no avail so the results of the independent panel in 2012 at least provided some sense of justice the truth will deliver to the wealth by the whole independent panel the polls. change life
9:50 am
fantastic i was definitely colorful some kind of way tell me that was left of that day then the inquests. because now these people have been killed. and the liverpool supporters and those who were killed themselves and those who survived the parents and those who witnessed those who have had a bounce for emphatically clear in the inquest of any play at all. 30 years after the disaster a court in preston a liverpool heard evidence of whether those in charge of law and order and security at the stadium had failed in their duty the case was in the headlines a story that remains highly charged in england.
9:51 am
proceedings have been attended for months by families of the deceased former south yorkshire police chief superintendent david duncan fields stood accused of gross negligence manslaughter and not having done enough to ensure the security of fans can feel pleaded not guilty. the families waited for the jury's decision after years of suffering the verdict and its consequences would be of huge significance in the never ending fight for justice and to have the record set straight. on the 2nd of april almost exactly 30 years after the disaster the trial against the police commander was concluded. the jury in the trial of the hills very much commander has been unable to reach a verdict for the chief superintendent david duncan feel now 74 have denied the

gross negligence manslaughter of 95 have been found to the 1989 disaster the prosecution said david duncan failed was ultimately responsible. the hillsborough the defense said he was unfairly singled out for the delay the jury couldn't decide as his 3 month trial ended without a verdict. here but yet. all with the jury failed to reach a verdict the friends a sad but not surprised. at the also male. thanks still have hopes of one day seeing justice for all. the week after the court case his conclusion we met richie greets with his son tom outside on field. it's a fireball that we were just very disappointed we were we were frustrated because
9:53 am
we felt that the crown prosecution service are going to go. for it to be the tender fair majority couldn't make a decision with the 3 frustration. in my opinion you know there won't be a day when when the the flame goes i was on the fight disappearance if there is still a battle to be able to end we'll be we'll be here together facing it's what's the message. it's a bit of a militant city socialists. and they don't like being told what to do or have opposable off. it to pick on the wrong so i think. we have. said to.
