  • "Baby Face Nelson" was George Nelson, (AKA Lester Gillis).

    He was shot dead on 27 November 1934, perhaps enabling a date range to be given to this clip.

    Seen on one of the newspapers at 00:14 is mobster Dutch Schultz.

    The man pictured at 00:26 is FBI agent Herman Hollis, one of the men killed by Nelson.

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.
