Thousands took part in the main event while a Jewish contingent held its own parallel commemoration. The exclusion drew sharp criticism given that Jewish communities were among those who stood against Oswald Mosley's blackshirts at the original battle.

The Jerusalem Post reported that Jews and Zionists were explicitly rejected from joining the main anniversary march.

A Jewish participant wrote about why they helped organise a separate Cable Street commemoration specifically for the Jewish community.
