Sheffield Live! 93.2 fm partnered with MagHull Community Radio in North
Liverpool today to remember those who were affected by the Hillsborough
Disaster.

David Hughes, one of the volunteers at Maghull community radio came up with
the idea to wear a red carnation as a way of paying tribute to those who
lost their lives on that day, twenty-five years ago today.

*“It’s a personal way of showing you remember. There are lots of big events
and big organisations that do things,”* said David, *“but this is personal.
It is your own way of showing you remember.”*

Sheffield Live! 93.2 FM was contacted by David to see if staff would be
willing to wear a red carnation on the day. Sangita Basudev, chief
executive of Sheffield Live! 93.2 FM said* “This is an important time to
show our solidarity with the people of Liverpool. 96 people lost their
lives, 766 were physically injured on the day and countless others were
affected.”* Sangita added *“It is important that a community radio station
in Liverpool and one in Sheffield will stand together today to remember.”*

Sheffield Live! 93.2 FM held a minute’s silence at 15:06 today.
