SCENES AT WATERLOO PART 1 1914 - 1918. The reason the Pathe cataloguer has noted a 'massive band' is due to their being four Foot Guards' bands leading the Zouave band out of Waterloo Station. Every time a row of trombones passes that is another band. The bands are in Khaki Service Dress, so it is difficult to identify them. If they came out in regimental order then they should read Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Irish Guards. When foreign bands arrived as 'guests' of the British nation during World War One, protocol decreed that our bands should play them through the streets of the capital, so the Zouave band is the one at the rear of the lengthy contingent that isn't playing. Seeing there are four Guards' bands present, it (may) date the film to pre March 1915-16...as the Welsh Guards' band didn't come into existence until after those dates.

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.
