    six minutes past three -Hillsborough disaster - 24 years on - six minutes past three.

    Monument remembering the 96 fans killed to be unveiled in Liverpool ahead of 24th anniversary




    The huge eight foot wide and seven foot tall structure has been cast in bronze and represents the football tragedy in Sheffield

    We must never forget this terrible disaster. We should all learn by this. May those innocent souls rest in peace.

    3.06 was the time the game was stopped.

    To day and all this week all the clocks in my antique shop will be stoped at six minutes past three.

    John Nolan, Evertonian





    this is a poem I have found on the net by Pete Evo


    Pete Evo Poems

    That Lad


    April fifteenth, nineteen-eighty-nine.
    Semi-final day, the weather was fine.
    Set off for Hillsborough in our mini-bus.
    Laughing and singing, all twelve of us.
    Bevy in the alehouse. Reds having the crack.
    We didn't know then some wouldn't come back.
    Walked down the hill on the way to the ground.
    This was dead weird, not many bizzies around.
    There's normally hundreds. Usually loads.
    They must all be busy blocking off the roads.
    Forest fans in one way, Liverpool another.
    Can't have them meeting. "Don't want the bother."
    One bizzy on horseback shouting over the din.
    "Stop bloody pushing. You'll all get in."
    "Come on lads, they've opened a gate."
    "Hurry up, we don't wanna be late."
    Straight up the tunnel and into the dark.
    Couldn't even see the players out there on the park.
    Something's not right. This is all going wrong.
    My ribs are getting crushed in this massive throng.
    I fell on the terrace, looking up at the sky.
    God, I was scared. I don't wanna die!
    Punch, kick, scrap, fight.
    Got to do anything to get back upright.
    I was like a wild animal. What's happening here!
    Survival instinct. Stark bloody fear!
    "Get outa my way lad. I can't get my breath!"
    I didn't realise he was so near to death.
    "Open the fence! Please! Let us out!"
    That lad went under. It was his last ever shout.
    Help me! Pull me up! Grab hold of my hand!
    Get me out of this hellhole and into the stand!
    I was safe. I survived. I was free from that hell.
    How many dead? I just couldn't tell.
    Looked down at the pitch, there was that lad.
    A man weeping over him. That man was his Dad.
    He was trying to revive him with the kiss of life.
    But that lad was gone. How would his Dad tell his wife?
    Many years on. Still no justice done.
    That man's still grieving for his dear son.
    Was it me? Was it my fault? Was I to blame?
    I still ask myself at the Eternal Flame.

    The families of the 96 Liverpool FC fans killed at Hillsborough have marked the 24th anniversary of the tragedy with two permanent memorials.

    An ornate mahogany clock with the hands stopped at 3:06pm was unveiled at a poignant private ceremony at the town hall in Liverpool.





    The time signifies the moment the FA Cup semi final on 15th April 1989 was halted after supporters became trapped in a deadly crush inside the Leppings Lane tunnel.

    Campaigners for "Justice for the 96" Margaret Aspinall and Trevor Hicks and Liverpool FC chairman Ian Ayre were among those who attended the moving tribute.

    Standing at eight-feet tall the impressive antique built by renowned clock maker John Clifton was donated by the National Museum Liverpool.

    Margaret Aspinall said: "I think it's a beautiful clock, it's absolutely beautiful to keep the time stopped on six minutes past three, the time the game stopped.

    tomorrow I will have out side my antique shop the red carpet.



    and all the clocks will be set at six minutes past three.

    The Black Book will be open and a page will be set a side as remembrance page.
