Today we feature more images of the Jarrow Marchers, who began their journet to London 80 years ago this week.

They were protesting about unemployment and the poverty being suffered in their hometown.

Today’s pictures feature the march marshall, Councillor David Riley, one of the organisers, Joe Symonds, and the oldest marcher, George Smith.
