Some 30,000 persons, "mostly respectable spectators",[REF] encircled Trafalgar Square as at least 10,000 protesters marched in from several different directions, led by (among others) Elizabeth Reynolds, John Burns, William Morris, Annie Besant and Robert Cunninghame-Graham, who were primarily leaders of the Social Democratic Federation.
In the fighting, many rioters were injured by police truncheons and under the hooves of police horses.
