Unused / unissued material - no paperwork - dates unclear or unknown.
King George V and Queen Mary walk down steps to take their seats in large hall (probably Westminster Hall, Palace of Westminster, London). Prince Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor) sits to one side.
A member of the House of Lords speaks - he congratulates George V on his 25th Anniversary - Jubilee. Closer shot of King and Queen. (Cuts in speech). Shot of Prince of Wales gazing at the ceiling. This speech goes on a long time. A copy of the speech is presented to the King. The Speaker of the House of Commons now addresses the gathering. Cut away to the Duchess of York (formerly Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.) The Speaker presents his speech to the King. King George puts on his glasses and speaks in reply.
He thanks them for their words. He talks about the Commonwealth / British Empire. The shot goes closer. He describes the fears of the time - "these day when fear and preparation for war are again astir in the World."
Shots of the arrival of the royal coach outside Westminster Hall. Views inside as people start to arrive. The Prince of Wales arrives and takes his seat. Shot of Indian Princes. Different angle of addresses being delivered. Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) sits to the side of his parents. Another shot of Indian princes and Commonwealth Prime Ministers. The King an Queen walk down the length of Westminster Hall past the joint Houses of Parliament - Commons and Lords.
N.B. The UN book refers to this as a speech by George VI - clearly wrong - and also to it being 1936 - Silver Jubilee was in 1935.

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.
