  • Is there anyway of know which teams were playing in the Docklands "East Ends own Cup Final" film. My grandfather is in your film. We have several of his medals for various football games including "Prince Albert Cup 1920" "47th Division Cup Final 1918" played in France, but we would love to know the team (s) he played for at home, before and after WW1. His name was John Herbert (1892 - 1976). I have found other photos of him in West Bromwich in 1920 (99% sure it's him - sill to confirm with my Dad & Uncle that it is John) but still no names or Players list. Can you help??

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

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 Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.
