Hillsborough Memorial

About

The Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield stands as a solemn tribute to the 97 Liverpool FC supporters who lost their lives as a result of the disaster at Hillsborough Stadium on 15 April 1989. Located beside the Shankly Gates, it features the Band of Life sculpture by Tom Murphy—bronze flames symbolising eternal life—surrounding a marble plaque engraved with each victim’s name. The memorial is a place of quiet reflection, honouring not only those who died but also the resilience of their families and the community’s decades-long fight for truth and justice. Flowers, scarves, and tributes are often laid here, while an adjacent garden and seating area provide space for contemplation. Open year-round, it remains a powerful reminder of the tragedy’s human cost and a focal point for remembrance, ensuring that the 97 are forever in the hearts of Liverpool and all who visit.
