Sir Oswald Mosley visits Manchester to take part in a march organised by his British Union of Fascists supporters, Sunday 29th July 1962. When the eighty marchers gathered, an angry crowd rushed them and Mosley disappeared into a flurry of flying fists and boots and his groups banners were torn to tatters. Police broke up the fighting mob and rescued 65-year-old Mosley but the march soon turned into a riot causing a mile of terror with fights breaking out every few yards. Many marchers fell out with bleeding faces and torn clothes. The rest were pelted with stones, coins, cabbages, tomatoes and eggs. The tumult went on as Mosley, on a platform cordoned off by police, began his speech. It lasted twelve minutes until the police ordered the meeting to end. Forty-seven people were arrested.
