The area around Cally Road from Cally Park to Edward Square was called Copenhagen Fields in April 1834 when 100,000 people marched to call for the release of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. On 25 April 2009, 175 years later the people took over Copenhagen Fields again in their droves, and here are the pictures of what will be known as the second great London demo for the Tolpuddle Martyrs!
Send your pictures to us and we’ll show them here. Remember to include your name and any caption you’d like for your photos. Click on images to enlarge.

I quote an e mail sent to me which just about sums it up :
“I enjoyed the Tolpuddle commemoration event.It was good to see some thoroughly decent people.”
Hi everyone I thought it was a great day and well organised Emma and Northern Celts realy enjoyed its Power to the People
Looks to have been a great day. Seen photos of all my distant cousins, descendants of the Martyrs. Well done Hazel for hard work on the Family Banner.
Sorry I could not be there.

We all had a great time, wish you had joined us Enid, and a very approriate time to christen the banner.
