To mark the 40th Anniversary of the miners' strike the community of Hatfield along with ex-miners and their families united for the Hatfield Miners’ Strike Parade.
Starting from The Broadway Hotel, Broadway, Dunscroft, and heading along Station Road, East Lane and Waggons Way, the parade was led by the Doncaster & District, & East Yorkshire Pipe Band plus the Armthorpe Elmfield Brass Band.
It later arrived at the Hatfield Colliery headgear where Hatfield Colliery Band performed before returning along the historic Emerson Avenue where miners and police clashed, before finishing at the Hatfield Pit Club.
Former miners' leader Arthur Scargill, 86, who walked infront of the Hatfield Colliery Banner along Emerson Avenue, delivered a speech at the Hatfield Pit Club as part of the commemorations.
