Hillsborough anniversary: Liverpool remembers 25 years on

Tens of thousands of people have marked the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster at a memorial service at Anfield.

Bells were rung 96 times across Merseyside at 15:06 BST, marking the moment Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final was halted on 15 April 1989, after a crush that led to the deaths of 96 fans.

A ring of lights inscribed with the names of the victims was lit as the names were read out.
