Hillsborough families have reacted with anger after former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie instructed solicitors to demand an "apology and recompense" from South Yorkshire Police.
Mr MacKenzie, writing in The Spectator magazine, said he suffered "personal vilification for decades" as a result of the newspaper's reporting of the disaster.
The Sun's front-page story, headlined "The Truth", which ran four days after the tragedy in April 1989, claimed Liverpool fans urinated on police officers resuscitating the dying and stole from the dead.
