|

Ahhh the heady days of youth, when life was simpler and you did not represent the wishes of 60,000 people.

Twenty-seven years ago when a year long miners' strike began, Harriet Harman was pictured on the barricades with the National Union of Mineworkers.

But it's wasn't all protests and politics - there are also snaps of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher's wedding and of Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper.
