There was huge national coverage of the 20th and 30th anniversaries

Not sure why the Guardian has been singled out but there's loads of stories from 2015 on their website.

Hillsborough stands alone though as a disaster where victims and ordinary people were demonised by the state to cover up extraordinary failings. There's nothing else like it really.
