19 years on, we still remember

I cannot believe that it is 19 years ago. I remember exactly what I was doing that day (I live in Sheffield).

19 years <shakes head> Where did those 19 years go?

We were only talking about it at Christmas with Mr P's uncle (Wednesday fan)

Very sad day ☹️


Thanks for reminding us Glider

I remember this day so clearly. Thanks for the timely reminder. [V]

19 years? goodness. ☹️

I live in Sheffield too and cant believe this was 19 years ago?

Wow, 19 years. It was such an awful day ?.

Here's remembering not only the 96, but everyone who else was affected that day.

I'll be making the effort to see my dad today and giving him a hug - I know today is always hard for him.


YNWA

19 years, wow.
I can remember watching this live on the BBC and Des Lynam was saying there was something wrong with the fans.

I can remember Forest fans running the length of the pitch with advertising hoardings being carried like stretchers. Terrible scenes.

I have been thinking of everyone involved for most of today x

I remember the 96 ?

I was 7 years old and my H was 14 and at the game with his dad. He always talks about how horrifying it was to see and be helpless.


YNWA ?

Thinking of the 96 ?

I have first hand experience of a football tragedy and can say how heartfelt I wish that no-one ever has to go through this

I was there and it has had a huge impact on my life - can't believe it has been 19 years but then not a day goes by when I don't think about it.

Thanks Glider... I was 10 at the time and dont really remember much... but the link you have put up and reading generally about the events of the day have had me in tears.

Thought and love to the thousands who must be in pain today (and for many, everyday) x

Remembering everyone affected ???

2 teenage brothers from our area were lost in the tragedy, it was awful ☹️ I remember their parents saying they had waited for them to get off the bus back home and they didn't and their dad drove up to Sheffield to find them ? every parent's worst nightmare.

Very poignant video, thanks glider.

I was young when it happened but a family friend was there and saw his friend die. It took him a long long time to get over it (as much as you ever do).

? to the 96. Rest in peace.

Can't believe it was 19 years ago. Never forgotten NYWA x

I cant believe it 19 years ago.
96 ?
All in my thoughts as are all the families and friends
?

I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan and my husband is a Liverpool fan so today has always been an important day for us. My cousin was born yesterday 19 years ago so my family were in hospital in Sheffield today.
Thinking of the 96 especially but all those involved.

Two of Mr Magic cousins, Gary and Stephen Harrison, died that day so remembering Hillsborough is an important part of my life now.

I think it's a day which will never be forgotten.

I don't really remember much about it at the time, I was 9 and I think I was sheltered from it. Mr M on the other hand, remembers it as clear as if it was yesterday.

My 2 year old just watched the start of that song and said "This is music for people who are missing someone." ? Amazing how she can tell.

? to anyone remembering sad times today

I was only 8 at the time but remember it vividly.

My thoughts are with those who lost friends and love ones ?

Where did those 19 yrs go. I remember I was in a shop in London when it came on over the radio, that 3 people had been killed, by the time we got back to manchester 96 people had died.

RIP ??

A girl I know was at school with Jon-Paul Gilhooley who was only 10 when he died...

I can't believe it's 19 years. My thoughts are with all of you who were affected by this.

A girl from the year above me at school, but who I knew fairly well, and her sister were killed. Very traumatic. My thoughts are with their family and everyone else who is affected.

I am from Sheffield and I remember it vividly even though I was only 10 years old. My Dad was listening to the game on the radio and I remember him rushing from the kitchen to put on the TV.

Even though I was not personally involved I still am not comfortable in big crowds as I always think how easily it could be repeated.

My thoughts are with everybody affected.
