  • "Victoria Monument" should read Victoria Memorial.

  • The sight of an Austin Allegro at 00:43 reduces this clip's date range to 1973-79.

    At 02:04 there's an AEC Routemaster bus, Reg. No. NML 604E. Remarkably this bus is still running in 2012, as a private hire bus.

    At 02:32 is another AEC Routemaster, Reg. No. JJD 569D. This bus has been preserved, and was still in existence in at least late 2011.

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