      It's hard to believe it actually happened even to this day. May they Rip 🙏 and will never be forgotten. I am from Limerick Ireland. Met John Aldridge in a Limerick pub in 2008 and shook his 👋 hand.😊

    This is the day ... we all lost 96 family members ... I came home ... why not them ... I hate myself ... there was one fella who grabbed my hand .. and looked at me in my eyes and said sorry .. he let go of my hand ... I swear .. I wish I could find him ... to thank him for doing everything he could do ... who grabbed the hand of an Indian fella ... ??? if it was you ... please get in touch ... I have so much to thank you for ...

      It is amazing. The Christians were excellent anyway and he delivered a great vocal on this record. Everyone did and the harmonising it first class. Paul McCartney really lets rip towards the end in a way that is quite different to his usual singing style it seems to me, although fans of The Beatles may disagree (this land's the place we love....) I must admit I don't know all of their work as well as some music fans do!

    Was there that day. Never thought in my life i would see dead people in rhose circumstances, but unfortunately i did. Always think of the 96. Never forgotten, always in our hearts. A tragedy of a human making. Go to watch what should have been a great football natch, but never came hone that day. Cried for them.

    At the time that this video was created, Tony Bland was still alive albeit in a persistent vegetative state. Sadly he died a few years later to become the 96th victim. Fast forward to 2021 and Andrew Devine was added to the list as the 97th victim having lived for a further 32 years after the tragedy. May those two men and all those who died continue to Rest in Peace.
