EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print captured during Remembrance Sunday in 1969, we witness a unique blend of solemn remembrance and passionate protest. As the nation stood together for two minutes of silence to honor those who sacrificed their lives, a group of demonstrators seized the opportunity to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict in Biafra. Just 50ft away from where Queen Elizabeth II stood near the Cenotaph, these individuals bravely shouted "remember Biafra" demanding attention for an issue close to their hearts. However, their cries were swiftly silenced by the police, highlighting both the significance and sensitivity surrounding this momentous occasion. Amidst this charged atmosphere, political leaders including Liberal Party leader Mr. Jeremy Thorp, Edward Heath, and Prime Minister Harold Wilson gathered at the Cenotaph to pay their respects.
