Jurgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk were among those from Liverpool to lay a wreath at Anfield on the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
Also in attendance were club legends Sir Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, John Barnes, chief executive Billy Hogan, women’s team coach Matt Beard, captain Niamh Fahey and former player Natasha Dowie.
They gathered to remember the 97 people who tragically lost their lives after attending Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough on April 15, 1989.
Initial investigations in 1991 found the deaths were accidental.
However, those rulings were overturned in 2012 after families and survivors fought a 27-year campaign. In 2016, a jury found those who died had been unlawfully killed.
City residents also gathered at the Anfield memorial.

On an important day, unfortunately Liverpool lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace.
