The fans' memorabilia

Correspondent Jonathan Shirley has sent us some more photos taken by press photographer Peter Ward. These are from the demonstration and rally held in London on 14th June 1970, just before the General Election. At that time Radio Northsea International was being jammed by the British government and had temporarily changed its name to Caroline International. Thousands of people gathered to show their support for free radio and to protest against the jamming. Regular updates were broadcast throughout the afternoon on the station. Caroline founder Ronan O'Rahilly attended with his friend DJ Simon Dee. The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame thanks Jonathan and Peter for allowing us publish these fascinating pictures from a memorable day in offshore radio history.
