Reds to hold minute's applause
Liverpool Football Club have confirmed a minute's applause will be held prior to Sunday's game with Chelsea in memory of Anne Williams and those affected by the Boston Marathon attacks.
In a show of support to the people of Boston and in memory of Anne, her family have requested a minute of applause be observed before kick off.
Also, as a mark of respect, the players will wear black armbands while the Boston Strong logo will feature around the ground on the LED boards.
Anne, mother to 15-year-old Kevin - one of 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at the Hillsborough disaster on April 15, 1989 - sadly passed away on Thursday morning following a six-month battle with cancer.
For more than two decades, Anne fought tirelessly to have Kevin's accidental death verdict overturned.
In December last year, despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Anne was present at the high court to see those accidental death verdicts quashed - and on Monday, she defied medical advice to take her place on the Kop at the Hillsborough Memorial Service.
Anne was an inspiration to many and will be a sad loss to the Liverpool family.
Also this week, the Boston Marathon was subject to attacks that resulted in innocent people losing their lives and suffering terrible injuries.
The city of Boston and its people showed our club and supporters great warmth, friendship and hospitality during our visit last July as part of our pre-season tour - and given our strong links with the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group, Reds' fans are asked to join in a showing of support during this difficult time.
