We give voice to the love that never dies...

Twenty years ago today, 24,000 Liverpool fans travelled to a football match. 96 never returned. 15 April 1989 is a date no Liverpool supporter will ever forget. Collectively they've become known as 'The 96' but to the families and friends they left behind, they were simply a dad, a son, a brother and a sister; a cousin, an auntie, an uncle and a grandad; a boyfriend, a husband, a soul mate and a best friend.

24,000 tickets, 23 turnstiles, 2 criminally overcrowded pens, 96 dead, 766 injured, 20 years ago today - numbers alone don't even begin to tell half the story of a disaster that has shaped Liverpool Football Club and the fans that will forever follow it.

Words alone cannot express the feelings deep inside
For families, friends and neighbours of those who died
At the Sheffield stadium on that awful April day
As they went to watch their beloved Liverpool play.

A football pitch of flowers, scarves, tears and grief,
As thousands paid their tributes in utter disbelief,

We cast off from the ferry ninety-five bouquets,
Mersey echoing our song, as the petals met the waves.

Condolences from round the world, in media and press
Mixed with those of friends and neighbours, feeling our distress.
We'll never forget those fallen, we'll remember them with pride
God took them and we don't know why, our flowers of Merseyside.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has spoken exclusively to LFC TV about his admiration for the 'magnificent' Liverpool fans who fought to save lives at Hillsborough and claimed those who attempted to blame them for the disaster had been proven wrong. "People will never forget that day; it's etched on our memories," Mr Brown told LFC TV, in an exclusive interview to be screened for the first time at 9pm tonight during a special edition of 'This is Anfield'. "I remember just hearing half hour by half hour the news as it came across from the Hillsborough stadium. It was then that I started to realise what a major disaster that this was. I also remember how the Liverpool fans helped each other, coming to the aid of people who were in difficulty and trying to rescue fellow fans - both young and old. I don't think we can ever forget the 96 people who died.''

Rest in Peace to all the of the 96 who died 20 years ago.

96 that will Never walk Alone.
