Sister of Hillsborough victim reveals father's last words
George Brookes made daughter promise to 'get truth and justice' on his deathbed.
The sister of one of the Hillsborough victims has revealed her father's last words were about the tragedy.
Louise Brookes lost her brother Andrew in the 1989 disaster, and in the 28 years since, her parents George and Gillian have also passed away.
As six people were criminally charged over the disaster which left 96 football fans dead, she said: "The very last words out of my dad's mouth were: 'Please bab, please promise me you'll never give up until you get truth and justice."
"Then he squeezed my hand three times and he literally died.
"I feel very angry that the last thoughts going through his mind, and the last words out of his mouth, were to do with Hillsborough."
Louise's brother Andrew was just 26 when he died at Hillsborough, and she was about to turn 18.
She said the tragedy had affected many aspects of her life, including her decision not to have children.
Breaking down in tears, she told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "I didn't have children because I saw the effect the loss of my brother had on my mother.
"It really affected me watching her so devastated and so heartbroken, like all the other Hillsborough mothers.
"I can't imagine what parents go through when they lose a child."
But Louise said being a bereaved sibling rather than a parent left her feeling "lost" and "very abandoned" - and she now wants to set up a charity for bereaved siblings like herself.
"My journey was different from my parents, because when Andrew died everything was all about my parents," she explained.
"It was 'I'm so sorry, you've lost a child' - and I get that. But I felt very alone. I felt quite abandoned.
"I don't think people understand that when you're a bereaved sibling, especially if there are only two of you, the impact that loss has on you for the rest of your life.
"When you're affected by a tragedy, and I've been thinking about the Grenfell victims so much, one day you've got your brother or sister and the next you haven't.
"Your parents stick together, but you're on the periphery and you're completely lost, so if I can help in any way."
