The Peterloo tapestry, a long stretch of cloth covered with items created by the public to commemorate the Peterloo massacre, with a red woollen Liberty cap in the foreground

Also very good to see the Peterloo tapestry, created by members of the public in the run-up to the bicentenary in 2019, on display in the bar of 53two!

Musicians in 19th-century costume on stage with guitars, keyboards etc, in front of the image of a heart pierced by a sabre, labelled "Reformers of Peterloo".

Afterwards at 53two we saw Reformers of Peterloo perform Peterloo in Rock, a musical show about 1819 and the fight for democracy (have we won yet?) Featuring the art of @peterloomemorial.bsky.social's Polyp as an ever-shifting backdrop.
One more performance tonight 8pm!

Thanks to all those who joined us at the Peterloo Memorial today to remember those who were killed on St Peter's Field in 1819 during the campaign for democracy.

A wreath of red and white flowers and green leaves, the colours of the English republican flag.

All ready with the wreath for the Peterloo 206th anniversary commemoration at 1pm today, Saturday 16 August.
The red, white and green reflects the flag used by English republicans in the 19th century.
We'd love to have less formal flowers, too.
