The ‘St George’s Day Celebration’ was organised by Raise The Colours Oxfordshire, the movement, which has been controversially hanging flags across the county since last summer, on Saturday, April 18, in Bonn Square outside the Westgate entrance.

It was described in an advert shared on Facebook, the group’s main communication platform’, as a ‘family-friendly’ day with music, community spirit and ‘fun games for everyone’.

However, there was no music or games on the day itself, and reports say about 10 ‘patriots’ turned out, holding flags with slogans written on them like ‘stop the boats’.

Oxford Stand Up To Racism organised a counter-protest ‘Migrants Welcome: Stop the Far Right’ for the same time, with about 50 attendees for the counter side.

The organisations call for supporters to attend ahead of the event said: “Stand together against racist scapegoating and intimidation.

“Far right activists want to protest in our city centre spreading lies and hate aimed at migrants, refugees and many more of us. This is us, our families, our neighbours, colleagues and friends.

“When the far right are allowed to spread hate and lies unopposed, it emboldens racist outbursts and hate crimes.

“Bring your friends and let’s leave no doubt that Oxford is a welcoming and proud anti-racist city.”

Reports say there were some minor altercations between the two sides at the protest and police were in attendance.

Record Store Day on Saturday was a global celebration of independent record store culture, a day dedicated to shining a spotlight on the shops that support music fans all year round.

On the day itself, hundreds of highly limited releases were available exclusively from indie record stores, all on a first-come, first-served basis.

“As well as limited edition releases, we had DJs spinning vinyl in both stores and live music throughout the day:

“In Witney, local bands played under the clocktower in the Woolgate Centre with sets from Danny Mellin, Mazawattee, The Kokroachez, Dolly Mavies and Steady Habits.”
