  • There's a banner on the front of each coach reading "Cunard Touring Parties".

    At 01:36 the coaches pass the Tower of London.

    At 01:45 they pass St Paul's Cathedral, and we see the statue of Queen Anne in front of it.

    Of the vehicles seen, two of them are Daimler coaches, one is a Karrier and another is a Dennis.

    More footage can be seen in clip 2380.14.

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.
