Fourteen National Front members and supporters attended this event as we have done in previous years. The event is held for two reason. Firstly to honour the 29,000 dead who perished at the bloodiest battle in British history on Palm Sunday, 1461.
Secondly, to keep the NF West Yorkshire Campaign going to get English heritage to establish a proper Visitor's Centre at Towton. Unlike most other important battlefields, such as Bosworth and Culloden, there is no Visitor's Centre at Towton.
We will keep pressuring English Heritage to establish proper facilities there.

Eddy Morrison and Darren Lumb both spoke and two bouquets of Red and White Roses, representing the House of Lancaster and the House of York, were laid on Lord Dacre's Cross by two younger supporters, the sons of a long standing veteran NF member.
West Yorkshire NF would like to thank all those who attended despite the heavy rain.
