Hillsborough families touch hearts with emotional rendition of 'YNWA'

After 27 years the familes of the Hillsborough disaster finally have justice.

Following a two-year inquest, a jury ruled on Tuesday that the 96 Liverpool fans that never returned home on April 15, 1989 were "unlawfully killed" due to policing errors.

The familes emerged from Warrington Coroners Court following the verdict, which is likely to begin criminal proceedings, victorious from their 27-year battle for justice which sparked emotional scenes.

Cheering could be heard and tears could be seen before the families embraced to sing a heartwarming rendition of Liverpool club anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.'

Chief Constable David Crompton said in a statement following the verdict: "South Yorkshire got the policing catastrophically wrong."

He added: "The force failed the victims and their families.

"Today, as I have said before, I want to apologise unreservedly to the families and those affected."

He concluded: "We will now take time to carefully reflect the implications of the verdict."
