Sir Alec Douglas Home came a by-election cropper on Tuesday 29th October 1963
Sir Alec Douglas Home came a by-election cropper on Tuesday 29th October 1963. Sir Alec, Prime Minister and the candidate for Kinross and West Perthshire, was about to speak at Dunning Village. Farm owner Sir Alec climbed a two step ladder to a hay wagon " rostrum". Crash! The steps toppled and so did Sir Alec, grazing his shins in the fall. But he managed to smile it off " Better to get the fall over in good time, " he told the crowd.
Our Picture Shows: After the fall... Sir Alec starts his speech. The steps that were his downfall stand beside the wagon. 31st October 1963
