Today (April 15th) is the 22nd anniversary of the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster. The annual memorial took place today (I went to it again, like last year) and the contributions the city council makes is great.

There was the Liverpool MP and former Lord Mayor Steve Rotheram. Great guy who gave a great speech. I've met him a few times since he became Lord Mayor, but you wouldn't know he was a politician. Then there was the current Lord Mayor (female) who gave her speech...and cried!

Rafael Benitez was there too. He even shed a tear (see photo below). The Kop was also chanting his name to return the respect.

Steve Rotheram also said the Liverpool City Council and other councils on Merseyside are signing what is called an "early motion" to the Queen in the hopes of getting Kenny Dalglish knighted for his work for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. I can't think of many people more deserving of the award.





Edit: Today, April 16th, is the birthday of Rafael Benitez! He's 51 years old today!
