Durham Miners Gala 2015

7/13/2015

It was a great honour to be again be a steward at the Durham Miners' Gala and still find time to march in with my union banner, in time to hear the speeches.

The incredible turnout, estimated at 150 000 proved yet again just how important the heritage of solidarity and social justice is to the people of Northeast England.

Let's hope funding can continue to be found and the Friends of the Durham Miners Gala gain many more adherents. Long may the Gala prosper!
