This report, from 1984, contains some shots of bloody injuries.
The Government has announced a public inquiry into a violent confrontation between striking miners and police which became known as the Battle of Orgreave.
Campaigners have long fought for an investigation into the police’s actions during and after clashes at the South Yorkshire coking plant on 18 June 1984.
More than 100 people were injured and 95 picketers were arrested and charged with riot and violent disorder, but all charges were later dropped after evidence was discredited.
The inquiry, expected to launch in the autumn, will investigate the events surrounding the incident and will have powers to compel people to provide information where necessary, the Home Office said.
The Rt Revd Dr Pete Wilcox, the Bishop of Sheffield, has agreed to chair the inquiry, which the Home Office said is intended to “aid the public’s understanding of how the events on the day, and immediately after, came to pass”.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said what happened at Orgreave “cast a shadow over communities in Yorkshire and other mining areas”.
Ms Cooper added: “The violent scenes and subsequent prosecutions raised concerns that have been left unanswered for decades, and we must now establish what happened.
“I pay tribute to the campaigners who never stopped in their search for truth and justice, and I look forward to continuing to work with them as we build an inquiry that gets the answers they and their communities deserve.”
The Home Office said formal consultation between the Home Secretary and the Rt Revd Wilcox on the inquiry’s terms of reference has begun.
The Rt Revd Wilcox said he did not “underestimate the weight of expectation or the significance of the task”.
He added: “I look forward to engaging with stakeholders in the coming weeks over the draft terms of reference, and to working with the government to identify experts to support me on the independent panel.
“I expect the panel to begin its work in the autumn, and we will endeavour to deliver an inquiry which is thorough and fair, and which will uncover what happened at Orgreave as swiftly as possible.”
