Liverpool Football Club will pay tribute to the 96 supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough during this week's game against Bournemouth at Anfield.

As the 28th anniversary approaches on April 15, 2017, a minute’s applause in memory of the 96 and in recognition of the families, survivors and all those who supported to the campaign for justice. Fans in the Kop will also reveal a special 96 mosaic. 

Players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and tributes will be displayed on LED boards surrounding the pitch. There will also be a commemorative edition of the matchday programme.  

On Saturday April 15, players and staff across the club will fall silent at 3.06pm to observe a minute's silence in memory of the 96.

LFCTV will feature a day of themed programming and will be free to air in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and worldwide online via the club's official website and LFCTV GO.

LFC stores in Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester, Dublin and Belfast will also cease trading temporarily so both staff and customers can participate in the minute of silence. 

There will be no Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield this year, at the request of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, who informed the club last January that the 2016 service would be the final one to be held at the stadium.

On April 26, 2016 an inquest jury concluded that the 96 supporters who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed and that no role was played by the fans in causing the tragedy.
