Hillsborough justice campaigner Anne Williams who died in April is to be honoured at tonight's BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony.

Anne Williams fought to overturn an inquest verdict of accidental death against her 15-year-old son Kevin, who was one of 96 Liverpool fans who died in April 1989 during the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.

The Helen Rollason award, given for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity, will be accepted by Anne's family.
