Hillsborough victim father: 'What we've achieved is fantastic'

Barry Devonside, father of Hillsborough victim Christopher, talks of his emotions after the inquests into the disaster saw the jury conclude the 96 football fans who died were unlawfully killed.

The jury found match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care.

Police errors also added to a dangerous situation at the FA Cup semi-final.

After a 27-year campaign by victims' families, the behaviour of Liverpool fans was exonerated.

The jury found they did not contribute to the danger unfolding at the turnstiles at the Leppings Lane end of Sheffield Wednesday's ground on 15 April 1989.
