Prime minister David Cameron praises 'courageous' Hillsborough campaigners

Prime minister David Cameron has praised the "extraordinary courage" of the campaigners searching for justice for the 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough Stadium 27 years ago.

Today, a jury concluded that the victims who lost their lives were unlawfully killed during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

After the conclusions were delivered in Warrington, Cameron tweeted: "Landmark day as the #Hillsborough inquest provides long overdue justice for the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the disaster.

"I would like to pay tribute to the extraordinary courage of #Hillsborough campaigners in their long search for the truth."

The jury also found that the police commander on the day, David Duckenfield, was guilty of gross negligence.
