  • More footage of the funeral of Baron de Cartier de Marchienne can be seen in clip 2104.11.

    Note that the announcement of the arrival of Paul-Henri Spaak is a little premature - he's announced at 00:49, but isn't fully seen until 00:56 (when he's the man on the left of the picture).

    "John Wilmott" should read John Wilmot, (4 changes required inc tags).

    "Lesnevitch" in text and tags should read Lesnevich, (Gus Lesnevich).
