In memory of Emmeline Pankhurst

BROMPCEM 032Flowers placed on the grave of the suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), in Brompton Cemetery, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, on 16 January 2016.  Although rather neglected, Pankhurst’s grave usually has some fresh flowers placed on it.  The flowers here, white lilies, purple tulips and blue hyacinths, appear to have been selected to represent as far as possible the suffragette colours of purple, green and white.
