Votes for Women ...

The re-enactment of a Suffragette rally took place in Morpeth, Northumberland today in honour of Emily Davison, an activist who fought for women's suffrage.

This year marks the centenary of her death. She was fatally injured when she stepped on to the track during the 1913 Epsom Derby and fell under the hooves of King George V's horse, Anmer.

She is buried in the churchyard of St. Mary the Virgin in Morpeth.

Hope you're well and enjoying the weekend ...
Must win game for Newcastle United tomorrow ...
