Daisy Dugdale leading the procession to welcome Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, London, 19th December 1908. Wearing the suffragette uniform in the colours of purple, green and white, Daisy Dugdale leads a brass band. Such bands, and the singing of marching songs were a regular feature of suffragette demonstrations. Emmeline and her daughter Christabel had been released early from Holloway Gaol, and their carriage was drawn through the streets by suffragettes in uniformm, celebrating their release. Many went to prison several times for the cause of obtaining the vote for women.
