Martyn Lewis presents ITN News at 5:45. Today 28 years ago, a fire broke out on one of the crowd stands during a football match at Bradford's Valley Parade stadium. 56 people died with around 265 injured. In the end it was found that a lit cigarette ignited the wooden structure which, by dreadful coincidence, was due to be demolished after this game.
