Hillsborough heckles for Andy Burnham at Anfield

Amazing scenes from Anfield, the home of Liverpool FC today, on the 20th anniversary of the disaster at Hillsborough.

A total of 96 people died as the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was getting under in Sheffield way back in April 1989.

Anfield was absolutely packed today and the atmosphere was emotionally charged. Tempers are running high as the widespread sense of injustice and institutional failure that many of the victims’ families feel continues.

It manifested itself in the booing of secretary of state for culture, media and sport Andy Burnham at Anfield today. We will be talking to him on the programme tonight.
