There's a video on the Echo website that I can't put up so feel free to follow the link at the bottom.
A MONUMENT crafted to remember those killed in the Hillsborough disaster was unveiled today.
The huge circular structure has been commissioned to represent the football tragedy in Sheffield where 96 Liverpool fans were killed.
Currently made of clay, the design will soon be sent to a foundry where it will be cast in bronze.
The eight foot wide and seven foot tall monument took over six months to create and is the work of city sculptor Tom Murphy.
The monument will cost £152,000, and so far the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, who are behind the project, have contributed £37,000.
Today, the group said they would welcome donations to help reach their target and make the public memorial a reality.
The HJC has entered into early discussions with the council over where it will be sited, with many keen to see it located in the city centre.
The names of the 96 Reds supporters who died on the Leppings Lane terraces in 1989 will feature on two plaques fixed to the outside.
And the words ‘Hillsborough Disaster – we will remember them’ will run around the perimeter.
The creation is also designed to act like a memory box, with a fixed hole to allow relatives of those who died 23 years ago to put sentimental mementoes – like a scarf, letter or poem – inside the monument.
They will remain inside as a lasting legacy to those lost in the Sheffield tragedy, Mr Murphy said.
