Liverpool FC today paid its respects on the 39th anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster.

On May 29, 1985, at the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus, events in Block Z of Heysel Stadium in Belgium tragically led to the deaths of 39 football fans and left hundreds more injured.

As a mark of respect to those who died, club CEO Billy Hogan and ambassador Ian Rush laid a wreath beside the Heysel memorial plaque at Anfield this morning.

Flags are also being flown at half-mast across club sites throughout the day.
