South Yorkshire Police chief constable David Crompton's suspension comes over what the force's Police and Crime Commissioner calls an 'erosion of trust'.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has paid tribute to the families of the Hillsborough disaster victims for what he called a long search for justice.   Mr Cameron praised the resilience of the relatives of those that died in the 1989 disaster. 

On Tuesday an inquest found that the 96 victims attending the FA Cup semi-final  at the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield were unlawfully killed, due to the failures of the police and emergency responders.    It also found that some police officers covered up their actions and discredited the Liverpool football supporters.  

Commemoration services are taking  place in Liverpool to remember those who died in Britain's worst sporting disaster while two criminal investigations are  underway.
