Arsenal and Hull fans will hold a minute's applause in the 56th minute of today's FA Cup Final

Both sets of fans will mark the anniversary of the Bradford City fire.

ARSENAL AND HULL fans will join together at todayโ€™s FA Cup Final with a minuteโ€™s applause to remember those who lost their lives in the Bradford City fire.

Last Sunday marked the 29th anniversary of the 1985 disaster in which 56 fans tragically died in a fire at Valley Parade.

Hull said: โ€œAlthough no official mark of remembrance has been planned for Saturdayโ€™s final, Hull City and Arsenal supporters will be holding a minuteโ€™s applause on 56 minutes, an idea that has gathered momentum through social media in recent days and one that is fully endorsed by all at the Tigers.โ€

    It was a complete disgrace that the anniversary wasnโ€™t commemorated before the matches kicked off last Sunday
