In Walworth, London, we see Mr Hull walking about his tiny garden and looking at his abundant plants and flowers. We then see a lady bending down to go inside an air raid (ARP) shelter, concealed behind the plants. In Forest Gate we see a line of gardens behind terraced houses. In one of them is Mr Walmsley's shelter surrounded by concrete walls and a flower bed on top. Mr Pettengale's shelter in Edmonton looks like a mediaeval castle with turrets and wooden doors.
In Walton le Dale, Lancashire, we see Tom Hughes - 74 years old today - riding past on a bicycle with other members of a veterans' cycling club. People wave as they go by. Tom shakes hands with another old gentleman and cuts his birthday cake. Brief shot of the group cycling off.
Near Loch Lomond in Scotland we see people riding a tiny car with caterpillar wheels riding up steep hills and over bumpy fields. C/U of the engine. The car goes by, pulling a man sitting in a little trailer with a rifle and a two dogs.

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.
