It was the largest public demonstration held thus far, attended by a vast crowd of up to 500,000 participants, both men and women, brought in by special trains from all over the country. In an impressive spectacle, some 30,000 women marched to Hyde Park in seven processions, carrying a multitude of embroidered banners, to hear twenty platforms of speakers including Keir Hardy, George Bernard Shaw and the WSPU leaders. It was the first time the WSPU colours of purple, white and green were seen in public and the women were asked to wear white in order to show accessories in the new colours to best advantage.
