Intertitle: "PRINCE ALBERT IN DOCKLAND. H.R.H (HRH) - who takes keen interest in work of Malvern Mission - attends 'East End's own Cup' Final."
A football match between teams of East End players is attended by Prince Albert (destined to become King George VI).
M/S of Prince Albert walking between two teams of players lined up on the pitch, the captain of one of the teams introduces each player and the Prince shakes their hands.
Various L/Ss of the game in progress, there is a sizeable crowd on the far side of the field. M/S of one of the goal mouths as the action of the game comes towards it.
Good C/U of the Prince shaking hands with the teams. The captains introducing the players looks very nervous, the Prince smiles as he shakes the footballers' hands.
More shots of the game. M/S of the Prince, surrounded by smartly dressed dignitaries, watching the game.

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??

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.
On June 4 1913, suffragette Emily Wilding Davison made her way in to the history books when she fell under the hooves of George V’s horse at the Epsom Derby. But was it intentional?
From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.
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.
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.
