This badge of office refers to the official role in a procession and rally. Annie Kenney would have worn this badge on Women's Sunday in 1908 when she chaired the speeches at Platform 3 in Hyde Park. Women's Sunday was the first large-scale demonstration organised by the WSPU, and saw the largest number of people gathered in Hyde Park for a political purpose.
