Hillsborough sculpture moves to Liverpool John Lennon Airport

The Band of Life, which was commissioned for the 25th anniversary of the disaster in 2014, has been relocated from its previous location in the atrium in the Liverpool Echo building on Old Hall Street.

The monument is a simple band representing the bond between the families, friends, survivors and fans who were brought together by love for those lost in the tragedy.

The band is a link between them, representing a continuous circle of love bringing the city of Liverpool together to remember. It has 96 lights, each representing a person who died, with the illumination symbolising a commitment to continue to bring light to their life.
