Mocking someones death really does the 96 proud. Class acts.Baroness Thatcher's death has been celebrated by Liverpool football club supporters with a number of large banners and chants during their side's game at Reading.
Reading chairman John Madejski had previously called for a minute's silence at the Premier League match in memory of the former prime minister, but the planned tribute was turned down by officials.
Instead, there was a silence to mark the 24th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, which killed 96 fans in 1989.
Before the match fans also joined in chants against the former leader, whose role in the official response to the tragedy is still a source of anger for many.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel report, published last autumn, revealed Lady Thatcher's reluctance to endorse criticism of the police despite the government being aware of "damning" evidence of their role.
Monday will mark the first anniversary since an independent inquiry revealed the extent of a cover-up by South Yorkshire police that sought to blame Liverpool fans for the deaths.
Earlier this week, victims of the disaster called the request for a minute's silence by two Premier League chairmen at matches this weekend as "a disgrace".
The Premier League and the Football Association had said there would not be silences either at league fixtures or the two FA Cup semi-finals staged at Wembley.
Privately, the football authorities also doubted that any silence would be respected given the antipathy that existed between the Thatcher government and football during the 1980s.
She was in power when hooliganism was at its height but her attempts to curb it, most notably the football ID cards scheme, were deeply unpopular and eventually rejected.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people gathered in London's Trafalgar Square to take part in one of a series of parties being held across the country to mark Lady Thatcher's death.
