Who went along today ? Where you one of the estimated 200,00+ attendees?
Great day out for trades unionists and Labour Party members/supporters!
Some passionate words from invited speakers; Laura Pidcock, for me, was outstanding wise words from the rising youngster!

Was there in 2018....great day out.
Makes you think of the sacrifices in the past so ordinary people have a reasonable life now.

I've played in bands marching in front of various banners before. A great and proud day. Not keen in the political hijacking but it's tradition I suppose.
