| 0:07.6 | Charlotte's dad, Jimmy, was one of the 97 people who were unlawfully killed at Hillsborough back in 1989. |
| 0:14.1 | Since the inquests have come out, Charlotte's been part of a team who have been calling for the introduction of a Hillsborough law. |
| 0:21.3 | Charlotte, thanks for joining us. |
