1966 Press Photo Protest Against Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Labor Conference

Prime Minister Shouted Down During Service at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church Brighton. The Prime Minister Mr. Harold Wilson was shouted down in scenes of disorder which broke out during the Labour conference service in the Dorset Gardens Methodist Church at Brighton this morning, just as the Prime Minister was about to read the second lesson the trouble began when a group of young men and girls leaped up and shouted out phrases such as "You Hipocrite" and hymn book went flying across the church. The police were called in and the demonstrators were taken by force shouting as they went out of the church. The Prime Minister was not able to read the lesson so he went back to his pew to sit with his wife Mary, and son Giles and Mr. Brown the Foreign Secretary, who read the first lesson without any trouble.
