Ceremonies. This is labelled as 'Funeral of King of Montenegro'; Montenegro's first and only king was Nicholas I; he was deposed in 1918 and died in 1921. Opens with CU men's' faces -- old man with white hair & moustache; wearing suit; in FG; other men stand behind him; they are all looking at something ahead of them; moving around to see better. The funeral procession: guards on horseback approach on tree-lined street; the guard in front draws sword and holds it out to his right as he rides. Next; soldiers on foot; walking in rows; with right hands (in white gloves) held over their chests.
Shots of lots of young boys in robes carrying tall poles with crosses on top; and with them walk priests carrying the same long poles; with an extra feature that looks like a narrow lampshade with fringe and decorations below the cross on each pole. CU side shot of horse pulling wagon with coffin on it. Some men walk near coffin: uniformed; also a few men in dark coats; including the man in the first shot CU. Soldiers in dress uniform; plumed hats etc. Walking toward camera. GV of wagon with coffin and the people in the procession all lined up facing camera; as if posing for picture.

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 images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
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.
