Lord Denly at Memorial Service funeral ceremony; also Motor Ambulance Inspection.
Location of events unknown - probably somewhere in Britain.
Opens with crowd of men on steps; with Lord Denly; an Army man; and Mayor descending. Denly with hat in his hands; making speech in front of memorial marker; engraved with names of Susannah Nutkins and grandson Tom William Nutkins; the date mentioned (laid to rest) is Aug. 3rd; 1906; so either this bit is older than the other stories around it; or this is a 10th anniversary service. (Note: film has been transferred in reverse, so writing / engraving reads backwards).
Various religious and military officials stand at side and back. Tall block of stone is unveiled; a likeness of a man carved in it. Denly; a Navy officer; a priest; all going down steps.
Ambulance inspection Row of ambulances with driver (?) standing by each one. Pan to CU two men standing by ambulance. Group of people; including Mayor; Denly; etc. walk down row of the motor ambulances. Group standing; chatting. Denly talking to one of the ambulance drivers. A bunch of men walking toward camera.
Note: film has been transferred in reverse, so the writing on the gravestones and sides of the ambulances is backwards.

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.
