BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, Representation and Rights

Marking the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act.

A service from St Martin-in-the-Fields marking the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act.

Sunday Worship marks the 100th anniversary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which allowed some women to vote and to stand for election in Great Britain for the first time. The service comes from St Martin-in-the-Fields in London, where on 5th April 1914 a bomb planted by the suffragettes, at the height of their campaign, exploded.

The preacher is the Archdeacon of Hackney, the Venerable Liz Adekunle, and the service is led by the Associate Vicar of St Martin's, the Rev Katherine Hedderly. The music is led by St Martin's Voices, directed by Emily Dickens.

Producer Andrew Earis.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
