FLAGS will fly at half mast and a minute's silence will be held throughout the city tomorrow to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.
The silence will be observed at 3.06pm, the exact time at which the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was stopped on April 15, 1989.
Bells across the city, including at the Town Hall and Municipal Building, will toll 96 times, one chime for each of those who lost their lives in English football's worst disaster.
The Lime Street media wall will display a visual tribute to those who died. Meanwhile buses and trains have been encouraged to come to a halt for one minute at 3.06pm. The Mersey Ferry will sound its horn and the barriers will be lowered at the Mersey tunnels for a minute.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: “We will never forget those who died at Hillsborough, and this is a day for us to unite as a city and remember each one and also their families and friends left behind.
"I urge everyone in Liverpool, and across the region, to observe the minute’s silence, as a mark of respect for the 96 who lost their lives.”
Liverpool and Newcastle players and 45,000 fans took part in a minute silence before their Premier League match at Anfield last night night.
The Warrington inquest into the circumstances surrounding the deaths continues.
