This week in London: 113 people injured in biggest anti-Government rally of the 20th Century

It was the week that saw thousands protesting against the Government’s new taxation policy and an Oxford-crew rowing boat sinking during the boat race of 1951.

In 1990, an estimated 200,000 people gathered in Trafalgar Square to protest against the Conservative Government’s controversial poll tax. The rally was one of the biggest seen in London for a century and left 113 people injured.

In 1951, an Oxford-crew rowing boat sunk during the boat race due to strong waves and wind. It was the first time a boat had sunk during the race since 1926. The race was rearranged for two days later and Cambridge won it for the fifth time consecutively.
