From all of our hundreds of Remembrance Calendar entries, we particularly feature certain cases that were of notable historical significance.


Hillsborough disaster


"Hillsborough remains the UK's worst sporting disaster. Since then, many families and survivors have led a 30-year campaign to discover how and why they died."


A "Hillsborough law" will be introduced in Parliament before the next anniversary of the 1989 football stadium tragedy, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed.


The Prime Minister announced that legislation would force public bodies to co-operate with investigations into major disasters or potentially face criminal sanctions, will be in progress before April 2025.

A terrace crush at an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield on 15 April 1989 resulted in the deaths of 97 Liverpool fans.

The prime minister said a "law for Liverpool, a law for the 97 that people shouldn't have had to fight so hard to get will be delivered" before the 36th anniversary.


The Hillsborough Law will introduce a legal duty of candour on public bodies. Officials or organisations that mislead or obstruct investigations could potentially face criminal sanctions.


Sir Keir will say he is honouring a commitment he made during a speech in Liverpool two years ago”
