LS Guards band marching on field. Coach drives towards camera followed by more horses. Fairly close side view of King George V on horseback; followed by other Royals - Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught; Prince Edward, Prince of Wales (future King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor) & Prince Henry (Duke of Gloucester) and possibly Prince George, (Duke of Kent).
Shot of these men riding towards camera across field - King holding up flag or banner; followed by long row of others. Again; then the whole row make a wide turn and ride past camera. (Listing says Colonial troops).

COLONIAL TROOPS AT TROOPING THE COLOUR 1910-1920. This film actually records the King's Birthday Parade of 1919, which was held in Hyde Park, London. The Massed Bands of the Foot Guards and Corps of Drums shown was the largest ever seen, with almost 570 participants (note the 9 or 10 Drum Majors leading them). The bands were in ceremonial dress, but the troops were not, they being in service khaki. So the 'Colonial Troops' were in fact from the Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards. This 'Troop' was also the only one to have had six Foot Guards' regiments in attendance, with the Sixth, or Machine Gun Regiment of Foot Guards marching past to their own regimental slow and quick marches.

From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.
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.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
