Hillsborough memorial

15th April 2009

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans tragically lost their lives.

To mark the occasion and to pay respect to the people and families affected by this tragedy, commemorative events are being held across Merseyside.

As a mark of respect, we will be flying the flag at half mast all day on the Municipal Buildings at Huyton and Kirkby as well as the Prescot Registry Office and observing a 2 minute silence at 3.06pm.

Anyone wishing to gather together to mark the anniversary can assemble at the Hillsborough Memorial in the Huyton One Stop Shop or at the flag poles just outside the Huyton and Kirkby buildings.

Local businesses and taxi companies have also been invited to observe the 2 minute silence.
