A large crowd watches Emily Wilding Davison's funeral procession 15th June 1913.
A large crowd watches Emily Wilding Davison's funeral procession leaving Morpeth station, 15th June 1913. She died after stepping out in front of King George V's horse at the Derby at Epsom. On this day every year, up to the late 1960s, suffragettes would visit Morpeth on the 'Emily Davison Pilgrimage'. In 1915, her friend Mary Leigh, far left in the photograph with her head bowed, started the 'Emily Davison Club', and the 'Emily Davison Lodge', whose aim was: 'to perpetuate the memory of a gallant woman by gathering together women of progressive thought and aspiration with the purpose of working for the progress of women according to the needs of the hour'. © London Museum/Heritage Images
