It is fantastic for me to see the Pathe' newsreel again after 61 years. Yes it was my mother who was presented to Princess Elizabeth on that day as the winner of the Cooking Competition. Here in Australia, where she spent the last 14 years of her life, dying in 1978. leaving a new generation of 40 great grand children. Louise Anderson, one of her grand children is putting together the history of Hilda Upton and I am sure that there is a story for British Pathe' to carry through. Please note that there is a correction needed in the description, it should read Mrs Upton of Loughborough, not of llford. There is also an item of interest, that my eldest sister (alive) Irene Taylor, nee Upton has just celebrated her Diamond Wedding here in Australia, and as fact was born the same year, same month, same day as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. Rene and her husband Aelred received the letter from the Queen congratulating them on their achievement 60 years married. If someone would like to correspond…
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 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.
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.
Animals are often the forgotten army of World War I. They displayed unwavering courage even when exposed to extreme conditions. British Pathé pay tribute to these forgotten warriors.
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.
British Pathé filmed the 20th Century's biggest names, some of them before they even became famous. Click through and guess who these soon-to-be celebrities were when first captured by our cameras.
Private UFOs, flying bicycles, motorised wheels - Pathe's archive is awash with fabulous films of canny and creative transport inventions.Take a look at some of the more unusual but ingenious ideas that people have had to beat the traffic.
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.
