A moving tribute paid at #Lab19 to the late CND-vice president Walter Wolfgang. The standing ovation was well deserved for this man of peace.

Great to meet a #Lab19 delegate who was on an early Aldermaston march in the 1960s against Polaris – Britain’s first nuclear weapons system.
Here’s the protest song he sang as he marched against the bomb! He’s now part of a 70% majority of Labour members who oppose Trident. pic.twitter.com/64muSxGrc5
