"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a Show Tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein Musical "Carousel". In the Second Act of the Musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, commits suicide after a failed robbery attempt.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a Show Tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein Musical "Carousel". In the Second Act of the Musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, commits suicide after a failed robbery attempt.
It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a Graduation Class of which Louise (Billy and Julie's daughter) is a member. The now invisible Billy, who has been granted the chance to return to Earth for one day in order to redeem himself, watches the ceremony and is able to silently motivate the unhappy Louise to join in the song.
The song is also sung at Association Football Clubs around the World, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on Match Day; this Tradition began at Liverpool F.C. in the Early-1960s.

The Hillsborough Disaster was a human crush at Hillsborough football stadium in Sheffield, England, on 15 April 1989, during the 1988–89 FA Cup Semi-Final game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
The resulting ninety-six fatalities and 766 injuries makes this the worst disaster in British sporting history. The crush occurred in the two Standing-Only Central Pens in the Leppings Lane Stand, allocated to Liverpool supporters.
Shortly before kick-off, in an attempt to ease overcrowding outside the entrance turnstiles, the Police Match Commander, Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, ordered Exit Gate C to be opened, leading to an influx of even more supporters to the already overcrowded Central Pens.

Itzhak Perlman (Hebrew: יצחק פרלמן; born 31 August 1945) is an Israeli-American violinist, conductor, and music teacher. Over the course of his career, Perlman has performed Worldwide, and throughout The United States, in venues that have included a State Dinner at The White House honoring Queen Elizabeth II, and a Presidential Inauguration, and he has conducted The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and The Westchester Philharmonic. In 2015, he was awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Perlman first became interested in the violin after hearing a classical music performance on the radio. At the age of three, he was denied admission to The Shulamit Conservatory for being too small to hold a violin.
He instead taught himself how to play the instrument using a toy fiddle until he was old enough to study with Rivka Goldgart at The Shulamit Conservatory and at The Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, where he gave his first recital at age 10, before moving to The United States to study at The Juilliard School with the violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and his assistant Dorothy DeLay.
Perlman contracted polio at age four. He made a good recovery, learning to walk with crutches. Today, he uses crutches or an electric Amigo scooter for mobility and plays the violin while seated.

Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th-Century and was completed, to the original Plan, in 1880. The Cathedral is the largest Gothic Church in Northern Europe and has the Second-Tallest Spires. The Towers for its two huge Spires give the Cathedral the largest façade of any Church in the World. The Choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any Mediaeval Church.
Cologne's Mediaeval builders had planned a grand structure to house the Reliquary of The Three Kings and fit its role as a place of Worship for The Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the Mediaeval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian Belief in Mediaeval and Modern Europe".
