The BBC is producing a segment for The One Show all about the Luton Peace Day riots.

They will be in town in Luton on Monday 25^th March to gather stories from relatives of rioters, police and dignitaries involved in the riots in 1919.

As a tribute to the actions of the men and women who were involved on the day – initially portrayed as a violent riot, but now seen by descendants as a valiant act of solidarity by people who had sacrificed so much – the BBC want to create a portrait of descendants and other proud Lutonians on the steps of the town hall.

You're also welcome to come along just because you're a proud Lutonian! Come and take part in this historic year of centenary celebrations.
