Members of the Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band take part in a rehearsal in their band room prior to performing at an event to mark the 40th anniversary of start of the Miners' Strike, in South Elmsall, northern England, on March 11, 2024. With memories of the UK's mining industry fading and 40 years on from its epoch-defining strike, Carlton Main Frickley Colliery band remains a vestige of the close-knit spirit that once bound the community.
