HUNDREDS of ex-miners and activists are expected to demonstrate on the streets of Sheffield tomorrow to commemorate the Orgreave anniversary march and rally.

The annual event this year marks the start of the long-awaited Orgreave inquiry to establish the truth about the then Tory government involvement and violent police conduct during the 1984 clashes.

Ninety-five striking miners were arrested at Orgreave on June 18 1984 after riot police with shields, truncheons, dogs and charging horses brutally attacked picketers.
