		Even in the 1880s there were a dozen or so 'Peterloo Veterans' in the village of Failsworth, a few miles from central Manchester, who met in their local Liberal Club surrounded by the banners they had carried on that tragic day more than sixty years before.
		Few historians have given much attention to the inscriptions and pictorial representations on the banners and flags carried in demonstrations and parades, 17 but their importance in popular politics was evident to radicals and the authorities alike.
		It was no accident that Peterloo commenced with the command to the Yeomanry Cavalry to 'have at their banners', and, as one of the victims, Samuel Bamford, vividly recalled, the contest for them continued throughout that fateful day in 1819.
