In one of the largest demonstrations ever seen in Hyde Park, there were many anxious moments. There. were really two counter-demonstrations, one staged by Sir Oswald Mosley and his Black Shirts and the other by anti-Blackshirt organisations, chiefly Communists and members of the Labour Party.

The rival groups harangued the enormous crowd from platforms scarcely a hundred yards apart, with a cordon of two thousand foot and mounted police standing-by ready to rush into action in any emergency.
