Hillsborough support
Dedicated St John volunteers are
providing first aid support at a memorial service
today for the 96 Liverpool football fans killed in the Hillsborough
disaster 20 years ago.
Ten first aiders have been on standby at the
remembrance service as a tribute to those who lost their lives
- 20 years after volunteers helped to treat
the victims crushed in the tragedy at the stadium in
Sheffield.
Simon Galley, Commissioner Operations for Merseyside said: 'We
have a very long association with Liverpool Football
Club and many of our volunteers were on duty when the
disaster happened. Being there today with the families of the
people who lost their lives and the survivors has been a
very moving experience and one we're proud to be part
of.'
