August 1819: troops charged 60,000 Mancunians on a public holiday at a rally called to lower the price of bread and demand the vote. More than a dozen people were killed and hundreds injured in what soon became known as the Peterloo Massacre.

Today we look at the tragic victims. Those who died; how they were killed and where they died. Those who were injured and what compensation they received. And how the Tory government made amends (or not).
