Hillsborough song tops Christmas charts

The song that was dedicated to those who lost their lives during the Hillsborough disaster has reached number one in the music charts for Christmas.

A total of 96 Liverpool supporters died in a crush prior to their side's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest in April 1989.

A cover of The Hollies hit 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' was recorded by the Justice Collective to raise funds for the various charities connected to the tragedy.

Past Liverpool players, including Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish leant their voices to the track, as did a host of celebrities.
