The 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed - and police have admitted they got it "catastrophically wrong".
A jury has ruled that the behaviour of fans was not a factor in the tragedy, which happened when supporters were crushed before an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
The jurors also found that errors by the police and ambulance service had "caused and contributed" to Britain's worst sporting disaster.
The conclusion, reached by a majority of seven out of nine jurors, was greeted with sobbing and cheers at the hearing in Warrington, Cheshire.

South Yorkshire Police Chief Constable David Crompton said the force "unequivocally" accepted the findings, and admitted: "The force failed the victims and failed their families."
Outside court the victims families broke into a spontaneous rendition of you'll never walk alone.
