Just one of the thousands of scarves left as tribute to those who lost their lives at Hillsborough in 1989.

They will never be forgotten. 🙏

If there's any day we could do with a giant scarf, it's this one.

We're teaming up with Preston North End Community and Education Trust and the wider community to create a massive version of this scarf from the 1964 FA Cup Final.
