Overview

• The British Movement, a fringe neo-Nazi group, secretly celebrated Adolf Hitler’s 136th birthday at the Duke of Edinburgh pub in Royton, Greater Manchester, on April 20.
• Images and videos shared on the group’s Telegram channel show Nazi flags, a swastika cake, and participants performing Nazi salutes, which were later corroborated by local media.
• Pub staff were unaware of the group’s true intentions at the time and reported the incident to police after discovering the footage online days later.
• Greater Manchester Police have launched an investigation, urging the public to provide information under log 784 of 24/4/25, while the pub operator has pledged full cooperation.
• Political and community leaders, including MP Jim McMahon, have condemned the gathering, calling it a disgraceful insult to those who fought against Nazism.
