Never forget* - Take That

We will never forget the 96 who died at Hillsborough.

Those were the words of the Lord Mayor of Liverpool in his speech which was part of the memorial service for the 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough 20 years ago. I was glad i managed to watch part of the service on BBC News Online - usually, such content is only available to users in the UK. And the internet connection has been really slow lately.

It was moving and touching. My heart goes out to the families of the 96 who wake up everyday feeling the loss of a loved one and the emptiness that brings.



*Sung mostly by Howard Donald, the intro is actually from Verdi's Requiem.
