Liverpool Observes Solemn Silence on 35th Hillsborough Anniversary.

Liverpool paid tribute with a minute of silence today, marking 35 years since the Hillsborough tragedy.

The city observed a moment of silence at 15:06 BST, the exact time the FA Cup semi-final was stopped in 1989. 

The town hall bell rang 97 times, honoring each victim of the tragic event. Flags flew at half-mast on civic buildings, and Liverpool FC members laid wreaths at the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield stadium.

Chairman Billy Hogan, Sir Kenny Dalglish, and the managers and captains from both the men's and women's teams of the club joined in paying their respects. 

Club ambassadors Ian Rush, John Barnes, and Natasha Dowie also participated in the tributes.
