Remembering the 96 fans who died at Hillsborough 27 years ago
The morning of 15 April 1989 began with hope for both Liverpool and Nottingham Forest as they prepared for an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield.
But it would ultimately end in tragedy and a day that will never be forgotten.
Twenty-four thousand Liverpool fans went to Hillsborough to watch a game of football. Ninety-six did not come back; a disaster that touched so many lives and changed the face of English football forever.
The final Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield will take place from 2.40pm BST today.
The thoughts of The FA and the whole of the football family remain with the survivors and those affected by the tragedy.
