Holland celebrates Queen Juliana's 40th birthday. Documentation states children dressed as farmers, farmer's wives, Chinese, elves, sunflowers, sailors, grenadiers, rabbits, Indians and pucks for the old Dutch game of goose play. They came into the well, the labyrinth, the prison, the inn and the playground. The pucks won the pool, which was filled with prizes of the National Lottery for the weak child. Holland has honoured Queen Juliana on her first birthday as Queen.

Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
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.
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.
