No title card. Armistice Day in Dublin, Eire (Southern Ireland, Republic of Ireland).
L/S of Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park, tilt down to show huge crowds and a Celtic Cross World War One memorial in the foreground. L/S of men in crowd all taking their hats off - signalling beginning of minutes silence. Various shots of crowd, some carry banner reading - 'British Ex-servicemen, St. James' Gate Brewery' - , others wave large Union Jack. A lot of war veterans wearing medals stand at front of crowd. There are also a group of young men in dark shirts and hats - representatives of unidentified organisation. M/S of some of the crowd laying wreaths on memorial. C/U of man holding up a little boy on his shoulder. The little boy wears medals on a military style jacket - belonging to father?
Note: regional variations of story for Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Newcastle and Birmingham all exists in G 1346. Also for Cenotaph memorial service - see ARMISTICE DAY 1926 also in G 1346.
Note: reference number on Pathe Master tape is incorrect - this is from G 1346 NOT G 1345. AH 2001.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
