Liverpool stars join the relatives of the 96 Hillsborough disaster victims as the club marked the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.
The Reds captain Steven Gerrard and former manager Kenny Dalgish were among those in the crowd of approximately 30,000 who united to honour the Liverpool fans killed.
A minute of silence took place at 3:06pm to reflect the precise moment at which the game against Nottingham Forest was called off.
Relatives and fans displayed flowers and candles to pay tributes to the victims involved
Local religious leaders read out the names of those who died. Besides that, many scarves donated by fans were on the pitch which wrote a large number 96. Moreover, thousands of scarves were draped over 96 seats in the stadium that had been left empty for symbolical purposes. Some supporters also attached scarves to the Shankly Gates beside the Hillsborough memorial outside the ground.
