A statue of a suffragette famously trampled to death by the king’s horse has been unveiled in her home town.
Emily Wilding Davison, from Morpeth, was killed when she stepped into the race track at the Epsom Derby in 1913.
Northumberland County Council commissioned the statue which was unveiled in the town’s Carlisle Park.
It was made by Durham sculpture Ray Lonsdale and its unveiling marks the 100th anniversary of the first women getting the right to vote in the UK.
The statue shows Ms Davison while on hunger strike in prison throwing her food on the ground, knowing she would be force fed.
