Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams dies after brave cancer battle - Liverpool Local News - News

HILLSBOROUGH campaigner Anne Williams has lost her battle with cancer.

Anne, who lost her son Kevin, 15, in the disaster was a tireless campaigner for justice and had fought unsuccessfully three times to have the discredited inquests quashed.

She had always maintained that Kevin had been alive beyond the 3.15pm cut-off point for evidence. And was thoroughly vindicated by last year’s independent panel report, and subsequent quashing of the “accidental death” verdicts.

She made her last public appearance at the 24th anniversary service at Anfield on Monday, defying doctors advice.
