Hillsborough retrial: Names of 95 Liverpool fans read outpublished at 13:08 British Summer Time 8 October 2019
The names of 95 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough have been read out in court as the jury was sworn in at the retrial of David Duckenfield.
There was silence in the jury box and the public gallery as the courtroom listened to the list of names.
Mr Duckenfield, who was match commander at the FA Cup semi final in 1989, denies gross negligence manslaughter of 95 men, women and children.
The 96th victim, Tony Bland, is not included because he died four years later - outside the time limit for this offence.
The 75-year-old sat in the well of the court wearing a suit and blue tie. His wife, Ann, was in the public gallery, as were about eight relatives of victims.
Fourteen people, 12 to make up the jury and two additional jurors who will sit through the opening, were selected from a panel of 30 at Preston Crown Court.
The prosecution will open its case on Thursday.
