Standing in the shadow of Westminster, the #HeadscarfRevolutionaries took with them the grieving community and resolute determination to make a lasting difference. Those #Hull women took the safety campaign to the heart of government. Their success will forever be a highlight in maritime history.

They didn’t follow the crowd, they were the force the crowd followed. Ordinary women with extraordinary passion and courage. When they marched forward, history marched with them.

58 years ago Lillian Bilocca tried to jump aboard the ST Keverne, leaving St Andrews Dock without a radio operator. If Lil had jumped, she would have killed herself. It was very dangerous and headstrong and showed her devotion to safety of the trawlermen. #HeadscarfRevolutionaries

An amazing story. And so brilliant it's become a key historical account.
I loved when parents caught us answering back and they'd retort, 'Who do you think you are, Lill Bilocca!' ( in a Hull accent ofcourse)
