We saw the worst from police after Hillsborough, says Jenni Hicks
In the first extract from her heart-breaking new book, Jenni Hicks recounted in yesterday’s Daily Mail how her two teenage daughters were crushed to death at Hillsborough.
Here, in the second instalment of our three-part serialisation, she describes the aftermath and her anger at officialdom’s callous behaviour.
The Melbourne park, which is normally open and available for kids to play on when there aren’t games scheduled, has become a fortress surrounded by security in blue uniforms and patrolling police officers.

While TCU’s first-round rout of Seton Hall was impressive — the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory since coach Jamie Dixon was a starting guard for the Horned Frogs in 1987 — an even bigger deal comes Sunday night.
They grew up during the war and believed in being self-sufficient.
They would grow vegetables and bake their own bread. My father, in particular, never took anything for granted. He did not know his father and he provided for himself from the age of 15 when his mother died. So I was brought up with a sense that money should never be wasted.
She told us her name was Doreen Jones and that she had lost her son Richard, along with his lovely girlfriend Tracey Cox.
Both were in their early 20s and had science degrees from Sheffield University.
Shane Warne’s children Brooke, Summer and Jackson (pictured with their dad in London) have shared heartwarming tributes to the cricketing legend and put on a united front in the weeks since his tragic death
At our local chapel of rest, the undertaker’s wife dressed Sarah and Vicki in their favourite clothes. I couldn’t wait to welcome them home from their terrible ordeal and to have them back with me, in their own surroundings again.
The 54-year-old academic and broadcaster told Donna Ferguson she has never owned a credit card, nor made any major mistakes with money.
But she is prepared to spend £135 on a massage as a treat because of the ‘weird positions’ she often finds herself in, crawling through tombs while filming at historic sites.
I have always been careful with money and lived within my means. I’ve not had a credit card, nor spent more than what I have. I was brought up to think that if work came along I was lucky to have it. So all my life I have worked six or seven days a week.
I like a massage wherever I am in the world.
When I’m doing TV shows, I am often in really weird positions – crawling through tombs or hanging off the edges of ancient sites. So a massage is my treat to myself. I will spend anything from £35 to £135. I have about four a year.
I’ve always had this feeling – even now – that I should have insisted a doctor was brought to see Sarah.
She should not have been as warm as she was, especially as it was now after nine o’clock at night – more than six hours after the horrific events at the game had unfolded.
“I didn’t feel like he was quite ready to play,” Lloyd said of Kriisa after Friday’s win. “Was hoping that we could get through this game without needing him, and fortunately we were. … He’s closer to playing than not playing. So hopefully soon.”
“It’s been 35 years — 35 years. That’s crazy,” Miller said.
“It’s been a long time coming, I think. This program is slowly shifting the culture of TCU basketball. We’re showing what TCU basketball is about right now.”
I hated the girls being in Sheffield on their own, in a cold, clinical environment where they knew no one. I began to go and sit in their wardrobes where, pulling the sliding doors to, I would cuddle and smell their clothes.
It was the closest I could get to giving them a hug.
That’s not even factoring in the strangeness of pandemic teaching, from Zoom lessons to ever-shifting health guidelines, which has taken a toll. “I don’t know how much longer we will have teachers who will put up with the pressures coming from all different angles,” a middle school teacher from Austin, Texas, told CNET’s Antonio Ruiz-Camacho. In a feature story this week, Ruiz-Camacho digs into how the teaching profession can hold it together and maybe not get rocked by the Great Resignation that’s swept through other fields.
We didn’t know anyone in the city, and I didn’t expect there to be many people there, apart from close friends and family. But as we approached the cemetery we saw to our astonishment that crowds and crowds of people had turned out to line the streets, bowing their heads in respect as we passed by.
It was surreal’
Jackson, 22, proved yet again that he was prepared to step up for his family in his father’s absence as he led his sisters Brooke, 24, and Summer, 20, to a waiting chauffeur and liaised with security at St Kilda Football Club where the funeral was held.
