  • Reducing this clip's current date range, seen at 00:08 is a banner proclaiming "Smash the Industrial Relations Act" - this act only came in to force in 1970, and was repealed in 74. The clip's date can therefore safely be reduced to 1970-74.

    The clip's location is currently undocumented - however at 00:01 we see a shop with the name "Ken Munden (Turf Accountant". This might possibly enable someone to identify the location. (My guess is that it's either London or Berkshire, given the Trades Unionists in attendance).

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.

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.
