4 June 1913: Emily Davison, campaigning for votes for women, is struck by the horse Anmer at the Epsom Derby. She dies four days later.
Her intentions are unknown, but perhaps the most convincing theory is that she was trying to pin a flag on the horse so that, as it crossed the line, it would be photographed with the 'Votes for Women' slogan.
The horse and jockey, Herbert Jones, survived. Jones received a concussion and did not remember much. It appears that he supported the movement and later lay a wreath in honour of Davison at the funeral of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.

You've seen the photo. Here's the (mostly) complete footage. What's interesting is something alluded to in this video explaining the backstory; the soldiers were very much human. The tank driver converses with the unknown man for some time and apparently tries to reason with him.
The photo is often considered one of the most iconic ever taken, except in China where the memory fades.

A student at Beijing University holds a slogan from the American Revolution written on a bedsheet during the Tiananmen Square protests. This photo was taken on the 25th of April, 1989, over a month before the June crackdown.
(Of course the fate of those pictured is unknown.)

The pictured lions were atop one of these pillars in Sarnath. This sculpture is known as the Lion Capital of Ashoka and in 1950 was adopted as the national emblem of India.
