Jeremy Corbyn Attends The Annual Durham Miner's Gala

DURHAM, ENGLAND - JULY 08: Len McCluskey, General Secretary of the Unite Union gestures during his speech at the 133rd Durham Miners Gala on July 8, 2017 in Durham, England. Over two decades after the last pit closed in the Durham coalfield the Miners Gala or Big Meeting as it is known locally remains as popular as ever with over 200,000 people expected to attend this year. The gala forms part of the culture and heritage of the area and represents the communal values of the North East of England. The gala sees traditional colliery brass bands march through the city ahead of their respective pit banners and pausing to play outside the County Hotel building where union leaders, invited guests and dignitaries gather before then continuing to the racecourse area for a day of entertainment and speeches. Beginning in 1871 the gala is the biggest trade union event in Europe. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
