Corbyn was delighted to meet a descendent of one of the Martyrs at the start of the march.

There was no escape for beleaguerd Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn even in the bucolic surroundings of the Tolpuddle Martyrs rally in the heart of Dorset.

Labour Party member Claire Cavendish climbed a gravestone to deliver a vitriolic attack on the controversial leader , demanding he should step down, just after he had laid a wreath on a martyrs grave in the village churchyard.

Jeremy Corbyn is a regular visitor to the famous rally that is seen as a key event in the founding of the Trade Union movement.
