The Nationwide Festival of Light was a movement by British Christians concerned about the so-called "permissive society". Among its organisers were Mary Whitehouse, Lord Longford, and Cliff Richard. Highlights of the movement were an initial rally in the Central Hall Westminster on 9 September 1971, which was massively disrupted by the Gay Liberation Front, and a mass rally in Trafalgar Square later that month. Little was heard of the Festival in later years, and society has if anything become considerably more permissive since then.
