Sylvia and Kate attended the launch of Lancashire Police's Hate Crime DVD at Preston Football club on the 29th April.

The large audience saw the premier of the DVD which shows the effects of Hate Crime on the victims and the community. It encourages people to report Hate Crimes and Incidents. Sophie's case is included in the victim montage, it is always so difficult to watch.

The key note speaker was Judge Antony Russell QC, the Judge in Sophie and Rob's trial. He spoke about the horrendous murder of Sophie and the devastating attack on Rob and remarked that it was the worse case he had dealt with in over 30 years as a Judge.

He also spoke of his deep respect for Sylvia, personally and the work of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
