Members of the so-called Shrewsbury 24 who were convicted for picketing nearly 50 years ago have won a bid to clear their names at the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal have ruled on appeals against conviction on behalf of 14 members of the "Shrewsbury 24". They are a group of construction workers convicted for unlawful assembly, conspiracy to intimidate or affray after picketing building sites in Shrewsbury in the 1972 national builders' strike.

Among those challenging the convictions are Royle Family star Ricky Tomlinson, who was sentenced to two years in jail, and the family of Des Warren, who was jailed for three years and died in 2004.
