Hundreds of trade unionists turned out in Derby today for the annual Silk Mill march and rally. This event, jointly organised by Derby Area Trades Union Council, The Labour Party and Co-operative Party, is one of the longest running labour movement celebrations in the region. This year's event attracted high profile speakers including MPs Margaret Beckett and John Prescott who were joined by Unite Joint General Secretary Derek Simpson. President of the trades council, Ian Wilson, introduced proceedings.
Prospective Parliamentary Candidates Cheryl Pidgeon and Chris Williamson were also invited to make contributions.
