On this day, April 15, 1989, 96 people were killed at Hillsborough Stadium during an FA Cup semi-final.
It has taken 31 years to discover exactly what happened on that tragic day.
And on this day, April 15, 1941, approximately 1,000 people were killed as a result of a German bombing raid in Belfast. Over 200 planes were used in the bombing.
It's interesting the effects a border can have on people's historical awareness.
That horrific night for the people of Belfast was seldom if ever mentioned in our history school books in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.
