Footage and snaps of the group revealed a swastika cake and other Nazi-themed celebrations.
Now, it has been revealed that one of the men involved put himself forward to be an MP in Bolton last year, reports the MEN.
Patrick McGrath stood for the English Democrats in the Bolton West constituency but polled just 202 votes and came last in the contest.
Beside his name on the ballot paper was 'English Democrats - Deport All Illegal Immigrants', said the outlet.
McGrath was seen on CCTV alongside other members with sick photos posted online revealing Nazi flags and a cake decorated with a swastika.
One man, who did the Nazi salute, was donning a German national team football shirt with the words Fuhrer 44.
In one photograph three men - including McGrath - hold up a flag with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross.
Other snaps uploaded also included a black and white photograph of Hitler.
Another picture revealed five men posing behind the British Movement flag before quickly hiding it away.
The English Democrats and McGrath have been approached for comment.
The venue have said that staff didn't know about the party until the next day -and they reported it to the police.
The Duke of Edinburgh's incoming landlady Jean Anderson, said: "They said they had a cake, but we didn't know what happened because they covered everything up.
"The pub was full. There were about six to eight men and one woman. They sat in the corner and didn't cause any problems.

"They were sneaky. We didn't see anything until we saw the pictures. I just can't understand why they picked this pub."
A spokesperson for Craft Union Pubs said: "A group entered the Duke of Edinburgh on Saturday under the pretext of celebrating a birthday and gathered in a back area of the venue.
"The group actively concealed their clothing and their activities during the visit and as a result, their actions were not visible to staff at the time.
"The operator who runs the pub was therefore unaware of what had taken place until after the event. Upon becoming aware, the operator reported the matter to the police immediately.
"To be clear, we are absolutely appalled at what took place. We do not and will not tolerate this kind of behaviour, and these people aren't welcome in any of our venues.
"We are focused on uniting our local communities, not dividing them. We are supporting our operator to look after their team, who are understandably incredibly distressed by the incident."
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "On Wednesday, April 23 we received a report that several individuals attended a pub on Market Street in Royton on Saturday, April 20, and were in possession of Nazi memorabilia.
"Enquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances.
"If you have any information, or were affected by this incident, please contact police on 101 quoting log 784 of 24/4/25."
The British Movement (BM) is a British neo-Nazi organisation founded by Colin Jordan in 1968 and membership is not currently illegal.
It was born from the National Socialist Movement (NSM), founded in 1962.
The BM is on the fringe of far-right extremism with a long history and association with violence and extremism.

Madeleine McCann cops probe ‘gun found during Praia search' after Brueckner had owned pistols
Prime suspect Christian Brueckner is said to have carried a gun during his time in the Algarve 'GUN FIND' Madeleine McCann cops probe 'gun found during Praia search' after Brueckner had owned pistols MADELEINE McCann cops were investigating two objects uncovered during their search described by local media as 'guns'. Portuguese daily newspaper Correio da Manha reported two firearms had been found in the area of scrubland above Praia da Luz, searched last week. Advertisement 6 Madeleine vanished on May 3, 2007, while on holiday with her family in Praia da Luz in Portugal 6 Christian Brueckner is believed to be the lead suspect in the girl's disappearance 6 Two firearms had been found in the area of scrubland above Praia da Luz Credit: Dan Charity One of the handguns was dismissed as 'irrelevant' to the McCann investigation and linked to another probe. The other weapon, found in a well, was said to be more modern. Both were described as rusty and historic with cops expecting neither to hold Maddie links. Watch The Sun's exclusive documentary on the Maddie case here However, prime suspect Christian Brueckner, 48, is said to have carried a gun during his time in the Algarve. Advertisement A Sun investigation revealed he previously owned two antique pistols. A Portuguese investigator, speaking on condition of anonymity, said of the gun reports: 'The objects found are very old and very rusty. 'I'd describe them almost as archeological artefacts.' Another well-placed insider added: 'One has already been ruled out as having any connection to the Maddie inquiry. Advertisement 'A separate investigation is underway to try to establish how it ended up where it did and what exactly it is.' Reports claimed all the objects and samples taken from the search were set to be tested in Portuguese capital Lisbon. Madeleine McCann cops probe samples of 'clothes & bones found in new Praia da Luz dig' for links to suspect Brueckner Sources in Germany said anything of value would be retained by German investigation leads. Luis Neves, the National Director of the Policia Judiciaria police force insisted last Friday the searches had 'not been in vain' despite the apparent lack of results. Advertisement This comes just hours after it was reported cops sent samples from their search in Portugal for testing. The three-day search had widely been labeled a flop after police appeared to leave the site next to Praia da Luz empty-handed last week. TIMELINE OF EVENTS HERE'S a timeline of the case which has gripped the world. May 3, 2007 Madeleine McCann disappears from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, sparking a massive police search and becoming one of the most famous missing persons cases in history. January 15, 2016 Neighbour reports a possible 'grave' at Brueckner's abandoned factory in East Germany. Cops find disturbing images on USB sticks and launch a full-scale search. February 16, 2016 Christian Brueckner is convicted for abusing a girl of five in a park after images found on his laptop. He was sentenced to 15-months behind bars but was already on the run by then. May 3, 2017 Around this time, Helge B calls an information hotline after watching a ten-year anniversary special on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. He reports an alleged confession by Christian Brueckner. September 27, 2018 On-the-run Christian Brueckner is arrested over outstanding drugs claims in Italy. He is extradited to Germany the following year. December 16, 2019 Christian Brueckner was convicted, in Germany, for the 2005 rape of an American woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal, after his DNA was matched to a hair found on her bed. He was sentenced to seven years behind bars. June 4, 2020 German prosecutors reveal to the world they have a suspect in custody under investigation for the abduction of Madeleine McCann. For the first time they claim Madeleine is dead. German media later name him as Christian B (Christian Brueckner). June 23, 2023 In his first interview, witness Helge B alleges to German newspaper Bild that Christian Brueckner all-but-confessed the Madeleine abduction to him, by allegedly saying 'she didn't scream' as they talked about the case, at a music festival, in Spain. February 16, 2024 Brueckner goes on trial accused of none-McCann allegations of rape and sex assault, in Braunschweig, Germany. Prosecutors hope for a conviction to keep him behind bars permanently and lead to McCann charges. October 8, 2024 Brueckner was acquitted of all claims. Prosecutors launch an appeal, however. Decision pending. September 17, 2025 Date on which Christian Brueckner will be released from custody without action being taken. Prosecutors require an arrest warrant for a retrial over claims from last year - or over the McCann case. But eagle-eyed police did find tiny fragments, which they are speculating could have links to Maddie after prime suspect Brueckner wild camped at the site. The samples were sent to Germany for testing amid hopes they could finally reveal the forensic link cops are missing on the case. Advertisement Cops are understood to have found clothes and animal bones during the extensive search through an area known as Brueckner's "rat run". Without evidence pinning it to the convicted German rapist, prosecutors risk not being able to get the arrest warrant they need to keep Brueckner behind bars. The claims were made in the Berlin Morning Post. A source said: 'Several objects have apparently been discovered, which are now being examined in more detail by the police in the laboratory. Advertisement 'As Portuguese media report, clothing debris and bones were found, among other things. 'The investigators have not officially commented on whether the finds could have anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance but that is clearly their hope.' 6 One weapon, found in a well, was said to be more modern Credit: Dan Charity 6 Police have been searching various sites in and around the resort of Pria du Luz Credit: Dan Charity Advertisement

Donald Trump reveals huge new plans for Aberdeenshire golf course
The golf courses will combine to create 'The Greatest 36 Holes in Golf' on the Aberdeenshire coast TOP TRUMP Donald Trump reveals huge new plans for Aberdeenshire golf course DONALD Trump has unveiled huge new plans for his Aberdeenshire golf course. The site is currently undergoing an expansion, with a new 18-hole course set to open later this summer. 2 Donald Trump has revealed new plans for his Aberdeenshire golf course Credit: AFP 2 Trump and his Scots mum Mary Anne MacLeod Credit: Getty Known officially as the Old and the New, the golf courses will combine to create 'The Greatest 36 Holes in Golf' on the Aberdeenshire coast. And as part of the upgrades, the 47th US President is creating a memorial garden to his late mum Mary Anne MacLeod at the golf resort. The main feature of the garden will be a tribute carved in stone, specially imported from her birthplace and original home, the Isle of Lewis. Trump's mum was born and brought up in the fishing town of Tong on the Hebridean island of Lewis but emigrated to New York to live a very different life. She was one of tens of thousands of Scots who travelled to the US and Canada in the early years of the last century, looking to escape economic hardship at home. She first left Lewis for New York in 1930, at the age of 18, to seek work as a domestic servant. Six years later, she was married to successful property developer Frederick Trump, the son of German migrants and one of the most eligible men in New York. The fourth of their five children, Donald John, as he is referred to on the islands, is now US president for the second time. Mary Anne died in 2000 aged 88 and is buried in New York. Sarah Malone, executive vice president of Trump International, said: 'With the New course opening now fast approaching, we are delighted to share the final layout of this extraordinary links and the completion of The Greatest 36 Holes. Watch the supercringey moment Donald Trump gets a rocking bagpipe welcome to his first Scots golf course 'It has been a phenomenal journey to create two truly exceptional world-class championship golf courses, across this magnificent stretch of North Sea coastline. 'The Trump family has a deep affection for Scotland – not only as the home of golf – but as the ancestral home of President Trump's beloved mother, Mary Anne MacLeod.' We told previously how a man who claims a farmer's hedge has ruined his views of Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course has taken his fight to the government.

Madeleine McCann search ends as new evidence is sent off for analysis
The latest searches in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann concluded as planned, German prosecutors have said. Head prosecutor in Braunschweig, Hans Christian Wolters, said the co-operation between the Portuguese and German authorities during the operation was 'very constructive'. His words came after The Sun newspaper reported that samples had been taken from last week's searches after claims that bones and clothing fibres were found. The newspaper reported that the bones were initially deemed to be animal remains but have been retained by prosecutors to be forensically examined. The latest hunt for evidence came 18 years after three-year-old Madeleine disappeared from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz while on holiday with her family in 2007. She was left sleeping by her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, and vanished as they went for dinner in a nearby restaurant. Search teams concluded their operation in neighbouring Atalaia, near the city of Lagos, after three days of scouring scrubland and abandoned structures. German prosecutors requested the search as part of their continued attempts to source evidence to implicate prime suspect Christian Brueckner. He is in prison for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005 and is due to be released from jail in September if no further charges are brought. According to reports, Brueckner sent a letter to police saying 'decisive questions can never be answered'. Another letter shows the suspect telling Mr Wolters that 'the investigation will be dropped', The Sun reported. In October last year, he was cleared by a German court of unrelated sexual offences, alleged to have taken place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
