High. Yes, all day, hundreds and hundreds of people have been coming

outside St George 's Hall here in the heart of Liverpool to remember

:00:59.:01:05.

the 96 football fans who lost their lives 27 years ago. Lots of children

have been coming down here as well today looking at the candles, and

after a big investigation which ended yesterday into how and why

these football fans died 27 years ago. But before we find out about

:01:20.:01:23.

that, let's take a look at what happened on that tragic day back in

:01:24.:01:25.

1989. On Saturday the 15th of April, 1989,

:01:26.:01:34.

Liverpool fans arrived at Sheffield Wednesday's Stadium to watch the FA

:01:35.:01:39.

Cup semifinal. Too many fans were let into the stadium, and many of

:01:40.:01:43.

them got caught up in a crush. 96 people died, and hundreds more were

:01:44.:01:49.

injured. Because of this disaster, football stadiums have changed. Fans

:01:50.:01:54.

all have seats, and there are no longer metal fences between the

:01:55.:01:59.

pitch and the stands. This has made football ground is much safer, so a

:02:00.:02:02.

disaster like this could never happen again.

:02:03.:02:04.

The Hillsborough disaster is something a lot of adults

:02:05.:02:06.

Yesterday, a big investigation into how the 96 football fans

:02:07.:02:11.

They found out that it was, of course, something very appalling.

:02:12.:02:20.

It was decided they were unlawfully killed -

:02:21.:02:22.

that means it wasn't an accident - and organisations including

:02:23.:02:24.

the police and ambulance service made mistakes.

:02:25.:02:30.

You can hear the rehearsals going on behind me right now. There is going

:02:31.:02:35.

to be an event commemorating all those football fans who died, but

lots of schoolchildren have been coming down here today as well to

:02:40.:02:43.

lay their own wreaths and flowers, and also to leave there and personal

:02:44.:02:46.

messages. This is what some had to say.

:02:47.:02:49.

You didn't deserve this. We all feel for you. We all hope your families

:02:50.:02:57.

I hope all those who have sadly lost their lives can now rest in piece,

outcome. I think it is just something we have

all grown up with, knowing about Hillsborough, sort of one of those

main events that changed football. Families can be addressed and they
