The football world is marking the 30th Anniversary of the Bradford Fire Disaster today in which 56 supporters lost their lives and hundreds more were injured.

On May 11 1985 a fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade Stadium destroyed the main stand and killed 56 people.

Many hundreds of others escaped with their lives but were injured and images from the disaster resonate powerfully to this day.

There was a minute of silence at all Premier League and Football League games on the weekend of April 25.

And today, 30 years on, Brentford joins other clubs across the country to remember those who were affected.

Working closely with the Football Association and the Premier League, The Football League is supporting efforts to help raise £300,000 for the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) at the University of Bradford.

Supporters can support the fundraising efforts by donating online at www.fire-anniversary.brad.ac.uk/donate/; sending donations to the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit, University of Bradford, Richmond Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD7 1DP; or donating by text.

Simply text VPFA56 followed by the chosen amount to 70070. e.g. to donate £5, simply text VPFA56 5 to 70070.
