A CHRISTMAS CHARITY single in aid of the Hillsborough victims is hot favourite to be number one this Christmas.

Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen feature alongside an all-star cast of musicians including Paul McCartney in the Justice Collective project.

The single, a cover of the Hollies’ famous hit “ ”He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, is 1/5 favourite with bookmakers to top the UK music charts when it is officially released on 17 December.

Proceeds will support the justice campaign spearheaded by the families of the 96 who died in the Hillsborough stadium disaster on 15 April 1989.

In September, the findings of an independent panel led to an apology from Prime Minister David Cameron and renewed calls for fresh inquests into the deaths.
