Five people have come forward since further images of potential Hillsborough disaster witnesses were released by Operation Resolve on behalf of the coroner on Wednesday.

20 people are still sought in relation to this latest appeal.

The pictures released by Operation Resolve are of people who assisted some of those who tragically lost their lives on April 15, 1989.

Although the images are 26 years old, it is hoped that the public will recognise these people and will contact investigators to identify them.

The public are asked to visit www.operationresolve.co.uk to view the gallery of pictures and they can also call Operation Resolve on 08000 283 284, if they can identify an image.

Last week a nationwide appeal was launched and the identity of 18 people was sought. So far, 11 of those people have been identified.

The officer in overall command of Operation Resolve, assistant commissioner Jon Stoddart, said: "The response to our appeal has been phenomenal and I am extremely grateful to the public for their support, especially those who have made contact with us to identify themselves, a relative or friend.

"We would urge the public to look at the latest images that we have released because I think they may be able to identify them, too. It is important that we track these potential witnesses down as they could help answer some of the many questions that the families of the 96 still have.

"As I have said previously, what we are doing is unusual and I cannot reiterate the importance of people heeding the warnings and advice issued by the coroner and the office of the Attorney General.

"It is important that people do not pass comment on our appeal or any other aspect of the Hillsborough disaster on social media and forums."
