  • TROOPING THE COLOUR REHEARSAL 1910 - 1929.

    The footage seems to be showing a rehearsal for a King's Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour). The officer is probably the Major General Commanding London District. This clip shows the Guards' Memorial (not the Cenotaph, which is on Whitehall). This Foot Guards' memorial was unveiled in 1926....so this film must therefore date from 1926 - 1929.

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.

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.
