BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

I lived in St. Ives in 1952, seeing these images of this newsreel in the Royal Cinema. The death of King George was palpably tragic, affecting everyone. It was to do with WW2, the 40's austerity and the unassuming King himself. The mourning period was nationally total; everything shut down except serious music..but from that the teenager was born as Radio Luxembourg and The American Forces Network brought new music to the younger generation.

If the politicians don't comply with their sponsors wishes then a media campaign is launched to quickly discredit that politician or Prime Minister and have him removed in a month or two, so that another can be put in place that will agree.

Seeing the former king walk behind the queen’s carriage is such a weird site to see

[@daswenzel]

I think with Princess Anne it was the first time ever, that a woman followed the coffin by food. She sets new standards. And if I am not mistaken, among the sailors were women as well.

[@lawrencewood289]

I wish her husband hadn't marched. The man is terminally out of step...just wow.

[@rickardnyberg4899]

@@lawrencewood289Princess Anne’s husband is a REAL navy solider and has more right to both march along and wear his uniform than the royals with so called ”honorary ranks”…. Anne and Edward haven’t even finished any military training… Yet Anne is an both an Admiral and a General and Edward has countless of uniforms…

If George VI had lived longer, Elizabeth II would most likely never have celebrated any platinum jubilee.

Handel, “Dead March” from Saul.

Do u notice how much fear of God and respect these two sisters had at their father's the king death. Look at Meghan and Kate they do not wear the veil to mourn like Elizabeth and her sister wore.

[@jessroche4677]

we haven't had the queen's funeral yet, how do you know they won't wear a veil? It was such a different time then, women were expected to cover their heads in churches and the royals were expected not to show tears or emotion.

[@a_leaf]

@@jessroche4677 they won't wear the veil because they are part of a new agenda that seeks to reject religion. They use their uncovered hair to show their modernity. Did you hear King Charles say in his proclamation that he will defend the faith? By the time the likes of them are Queen, they will get rid of that statement. What they do not realize is that humans will always revert back to the truth. Monotheistic religion is timeless. I do appreciate your question and thank you, we shall see how these women show up.

watch the funeral of king george v, they’re all the same

They tend not to go in for exciting new innovations over there. That’s a tendency, not a rule, but it is real. A summary of the attitude I have heard: “If it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change”.

[@quentinquogamoddy1999]

As does King George V's in 1936 and Queen Victoria's in 1901. British Pathé has uploaded both.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II.... 25 years after the death of Princess Diana, Princess of Hearts and Minds in 1997... This news is the most widely circulated in this century... It came true today and became true on September 8, the ninth month of 2022 AD....

[@seansmith445]

From Westminster Hall to Paddington Station then by train to Windsor.

[@markshrimpton3138]

It would be interesting to know how many people witnessed this and how his daughter’s funeral will compare in terms of numbers. No mobiles held aloft then.

[@evernew23]

That’s because there weren’t invented?

[@rickardnyberg4899]

There was many more people on the streets in 1952 - but most people didn’t have a tv back then

[@rockmetalhead7680]

I'm amaze that england maybe (i dont really know) are the only country that runs by à king or queen, i mean since 1000 years there's was many many king and queen, and how thing were, where king's daughter married to à german prince, or russia prince or french prince no matter what, in my Book the most suprising think for me its that queen victoria was the grandmother of the Europe, crazy how tsar Nicolas II and king george V really looked like even though they were cousin, (which basically king george V's mother was the sister of tsar Nicolas II's mother) and the keiser wilhelm (emperor of german during ww1) was queen victoria's grandson

[@natlisan]

They're all related! The Tsarina was Prince Philip's great aunt and also a granddaughter of Queen Victoria on his mother's side, his grandfather on his father's side was Queen Alexandra's younger brother.

[@alisonlekarev2183]

England is not run by the King. We a government for that! The Queen represented our country in a way our politicians never could though. She was for everyone and she was special. ♥
