The 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed, inquests have found - and police have admitted they got it "catastrophically wrong".
A jury ruled that the behaviour of fans was not a factor in the tragedy, which happened when supporters were crushed before an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
The jurors also found that errors by the police and ambulance service had "caused and contributed" to Britain's worst sporting disaster.
