Hillsborough April 15 1989 27th Anniversary

27th Anniversary 

They went with songs to the match, they were young.
Straight of limb, true red, steady and confident on that Saturday afternoon.
They were staunch to the end against odds incalculable,
They fell as adversaries looked on.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They stand no more on the terraces.
They have no lot in our labour’s in todays matches;
They sleep beyond Liverpool’s sparkle.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and every morning,
They will never walk alone.


Justice for the 96

Views from Porta De La Cruz taken in March 2016  

Views of Mount Teide, people around the pool!!, the harbour, the sea, sitting in the square and sitting in the skies and a Lent procession through the streets.
