Liverpool have led tributes to the victims and survivors of Hillsborough.
Wednesday marks the 31st anniversary of the tragedy which saw 96 Reds supporters unlawfully killed before the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield.
Plans to commemorate the disaster with a final public memorial service at Anfield were postponed following the outbreak of coronavirus last month.
Liverpool officials laid a wreath at the memorial in addition to hanging a commemorative banner to the victims from the roof of The Kop stand.
Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson also paid their own tributes despite the pair being unable to attend the memorial service due to Covid-19 restrictions.
“Today is the most significant day for our football club each year,” said Klopp.
“The plan was that we were together at Anfield today, but this is not possible.
“The only thing we can make sure is that we are in each other’s thoughts. And believe me, you are in our thoughts.
“You have our thoughts, our prayers and, most of all, you have our love.”
Henderson added: “I’m not one for making speeches but on behalf of all the players at Liverpool, I just want to let everyone affected know that you are in our thoughts today.
“As ever, we are together in spirit even if we can’t be together in person.”
Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was Liverpool’s manager at the time of Hillsborough, issued a heartfelt personal statement to all those affected by the disaster.
He said: “This is a day when, first and foremost, we remember those who went to a football match and never came home – they will never be forgotten.
“But we should also think of the families and survivors who showed the rest of us how to deal with an unimaginable tragedy.
“By sticking together, supporting one another and standing up for what was right, they set an example which will always resonate, none more so than during the current time when so many families are dealing with tragedies of their own.
“Today, my thoughts will be with everyone who has suffered since April 15, 1989 and everyone who is suffering now.
“All we can do is carry on sticking together and finding strength in each other in the same way that the Hillsborough families and survivors have over all these years.”
Flags are being flown at half-mast ins Liverpool to commemorate the tragedy while the city will fall silent at 3.06pm – the time that the game was halted.
