Tickets still available for Hillsborough Memorial Service

Everton will be screening today's Hillsborough Memorial Service at Goodison Park and fans can still obtain tickets from the Park End box office and Everton One.

The club will open the stadium's doors to allow ticketed supporters to watch the service from Anfield and pay their respects to the 96 Liverpool fans who died at their club's FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield 25 years ago today.

In a display of continued support for the Hillsborough Family Support Group, the Everton first-team squad will be in attendance, along with Blues chairman Bill Kenwright.

Manager Roberto Martinez will be among those speaking at Anfield.

Gates at Goodison will be open from 2pm, with the service set to begin at 2.45pm.

After the screening, Everton will hold a short memorial of their own, after which a group of local school children will lead a procession from Goodison Park to Anfield holding 96 linked football scarves to represent the unity of the two clubs in the two decades since the disaster.

For more information about the service or obtaining tickets, please call 0871 663 1878*.

Seating will be unreserved and is limited to the Park End only. Limited car parking spaces will be available in the Park End and at Gwladys Street School.

Everton will also hold a period of remembrance ahead of the Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday 16 April (7.45pm).
