Lady Graham - speakers |
| Performance Notes | It was at this event that Miss Leslie Greene, Secretary of the League of Empire Loyalists, interrupted a speech made by Harold MacMillan. Greene was ejected by five men, and the police, and took the Royal Albert Hall to West London County Court in which she claimed £101 in damages from the Albert Hall Corporation and five men. Judge Howard who oversaw the case described the league as, "what might be called dyed-in-the-wool imperialists. One thing emerges quite clearly, and that is that these bands of cranks, fanatics, call them what you will, have deliberatly pursued a policy of creating disturbances, at political meetings." Miss Greene lost the case as she was deemed a trespasser who was told to leave.
