Today, on the 36th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster, in which 97 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed - family members of those who died and others affected by different state scandals have a united message for the government - 'do not let us down'.
To mark today's anniversary, the ECHO has spoken to people who have been deeply and traumatically affected by tragic events with a common theme - that those events involved the state and saw the truth covered up. They are all calling for a Hillsborough Law to be delivered in full that will begin to rebalance the scales of justice in this country and reform a system that they say has let them all down for so long.
