On April 15, 1989, ninety-six children, men and women lost their lives at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.
Following a tireless campaign led by bereaved families and survivors, in 2012 the High Court quashed the original accidental death verdicts and ordered new inquests.
On the 9th of November 2012 a few of the committee attended a “Hillsborough Benefit night†in the Red Cow. Obviously the objective was to raise much needed funds as the families now seek prosecutions for those responsible for the tragedy.
In attendance was Margaret Aspinall, head of the “Hillsborough Families Support Groupâ€, Sue Jenkins and Jenni Hicks.
It was an absolute pleasure to hear these women speak and to meet them in person. Also in attendance was Lee Roy James, who penned the Hillsborough Anthem “Tragedy†which he sang on the night, a very moving experience indeed. The very funny Darren Farley opened up the night with some of his brilliant impersonations and as already stated it was a pleasure to attend the evening.
