The families of those who died at Hillsborough say the time has come to move on and grieve in private as Liverpool remembers the 96.
Today marks 32 years since men, women and children went to watch the FA Cup Semi Final in Sheffield and never came home.
At six minutes past three, the time the match was abandoned, Radio City will join the rest of Liverpool in a minutes silence in their memory.
The families have taken the decision to disband the Hillsborough Families Support Group saying they feel they've taken their fight as far as they can.
It's former chairperson, Margaret Aspinall, lost her son James in the crush on the Leppings Lane :
"I don't think the families have ever had time to grieve properly for their loved ones they've been that busy campaigning and they've been that busy fighting for truth and justice. I think the families deserve a rest now.
"People will always remember. How can anybody ever move on if you are still having these big ceremonies?
"I think it's important to let people reflect in their own way and be able to move on with their family. I think that is so important.
"It's not just about one person or two people or ninety six families. It's the whole of Merseyside that has supported us and I'd just like to thank everybody on behalf of the Hillsborough family support group for all that support. People will always remember the ninety six".
