a long image showing a field with trees in the background and lots of people all over the field, mostly sitting down enjoying the sunshine

Big panorama of the field during the speeches at the Durham Miners' Gala this year 😀 weather was smashing and it was absolutely rammed.

It is! #UCU #MinersGala

It's the #MinersGala! Solidarity in the sunshine! Music and speeches! The best match since Pride (which admittedly wasn't all that long ago)!
