Cheers in the rain. Thousands jammed Trafalgar-square as the rain poured down last night
Cheers in the rain. Thousands jammed Trafalgar-square as the rain poured down last night (Thursday 15-10-64) and, within sight of Parliament, watched the parties battling for control of the country. They cheered, booed sang - and some of them even jumped in the fountain pools in their excitement - as the election results were flashed to the crowds every few moments on a large television screen. October 1964

Cheers in the Rain - A Vibrant Display of Democracy and Excitement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from October 1964, we are transported back to a momentous night in history. Thousands of spirited individuals braved the pouring rain to gather at Trafalgar Square, right within sight of Parliament. As the battle for control of the country unfolded before their eyes, emotions ran high. The atmosphere was electric as cheers and boos echoed through the square. People sang with fervor, united by their shared anticipation. The excitement reached such heights that some couldn't resist jumping into the fountain pools, adding an unexpected splash to this unforgettable scene. Amidst all this chaos and jubilation, a large television screen became a beacon of hope for those eager for election updates. Every few moments, it flashed results to the crowds who eagerly absorbed each piece of information. This photograph captures not only a pivotal moment in British politics but also showcases the power and passion of democracy itself. It is a testament to how people can come together despite adverse weather conditions and celebrate their collective voice. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image serves as a reminder that historical events are shaped not just by politicians but also by ordinary citizens whose voices echo through crowded squares on rainy nights like these.
