EDITORS COMMENTS
Avril Waters, a determined 23-year-old secretary to the London branch of the League of Empire Loyalists, fearlessly defied strict security measures as she infiltrated the Conservative conference in Llandudno, Wales on October 16th, 1962. With unwavering conviction against Britain's membership in the Common Market, Avril seized an opportunity to make her voice heard amidst a sea of political elites. As stewards scrambled to react and eject her from the hall after shouting impassioned protests against European integration, Avril executed a swift exit before they could apprehend her. This audacious act showcased her commitment to challenging prevailing political norms and advocating for right-wing ideologies within British society. The League of Empire Loyalists was renowned for its staunch opposition to decolonization efforts and its advocacy for preserving British imperial influence. Avril's bold stunt not only symbolized their resistance but also highlighted the growing pressure groups exerted on mainstream politics during this tumultuous era. Captured by photographer Peter Stubbs, this powerful image encapsulates both Avril's determination and the fervor that defined British politics in the 1960s. It serves as a testament to women breaking barriers within male-dominated spheres while simultaneously shedding light on far-right movements that sought to shape Britain's future trajectory.
