Memories of West Midlands Police Pipe Band playing at Town Hall
Description
David Paterson recalls his involvement with the West Midlands Police Pipe Band (see attached photo and notes for more on their history).
David also recounts a story from when he was on duty at an Oswald Mosley political meeting, probably in 1958, which went ahead despite local objections and generated controversy. The event sparked a public debate on the issue of free speech for fascists in public venues.
