22-4-67 Grandmother Kathy to play the part of the Queen at a Vietnam War protest rally - An impersonation of the Queen by a 57-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Kathleen Farr, at a Vietnam War protest is to go on despite a warning by Scotland Yard. The decision was made by the Committee of 100, the group which is to stage the rally in Trafalgar Square on Sunday week, April 30th. Mrs. Farr will don a purple cloak and tiara to play the part of the Queen and after a march from White Chapel will "decorate' an "Australian' solder "for bravery in Vietnam for killing innocent children'. Mrs. Fare has paid fines totaling £200 following anti-war demonstrations.
