Nottingham Forest fans, like football fans and families right across the UK, will never forget April 15, 1989.

It was the day 96 football fans went to watch a game and never came home.

For almost three decades, the families of those involved have been fighting for answers, and more importantly, for justice.

And now, a jury has said that the 96 people who died that day were killed unlawfully.

Having spent two years listening to evidence from a huge number of people, the panel of six women and three men were asked to reach a conclusion on 14 key questions.

These questions related to the behaviour of the fans themselves, the policing operation and the emergency response to the unfolding situation.

Two investigations into the disaster are still ongoing, however.
