Hillsborough survivors' bench to be created at Anfield

The specially designed bench, which will be installed later this year and is pictured above in an artist's impression, will be located on 96 Avenue opposite the Hillsborough memorial at Anfield.

The design features a pattern of interlocking lines etched into the bench, which represent the multitude of scarves that adorned the Kop and pitch in the immediate aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster, demonstrating unity and solidarity.

LFC has been working with the families on ideas to create something lasting that acknowledges survivors and all those who have come together to support the campaign. The new Main Stand has provided a suitable area on 96 Avenue, close to the Hillsborough memorial, to produce this fitting tribute that will be named the Survivors' Bench.
