Thousands pack St George's Square in Liverpool

The vigil began this evening to remember the 96 victims of the Hillsborough tragedy - and to reflect on their families' long fight for justice, which resulted in a verdict of ''unlawful killing'' yesterday.

Crowds chanted "for the 96, justice" before music by The Beatles was played and 96 young people laid red roses for the victims.

The names and ages of those who died will be read outside the hall, where a memorial emblazoned with the words Truth and Justice stands over a row of 96 lanterns.
