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. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/

Sir Winston Churchill's leadership is crucially needed today.
Queen Elizabeth's reign is now roughly equal to a human's average life expectancy. I'm watching this historical footage from a bygone era and it still baffles my mind that the queen referenced in this clip is the same one today.

The Queen actually went to 10 Downing St, rather than the other way round. She was young and knew old Winston must have been suffering at the knees. That’s purely my supposition, but it seems clear from the pictures.

Boiled beef, carrots, mashed potato and gravy, followed by treacle tart and custard. They really knew how to live it up in those days.
As a lad I read Sir Winston Churchill’s great work ; “The History of the English Speaking Peoples”. I remember sitting with my family watching Sir Winston’s funeral on our black and white television in 1965. Like all prophets, Sir Winston had enemies. Yet, as painful as it is, unpopularity is the lot of the prophet and is - in a fallen world - proof that the prophetic have spoken the inconvenient Truth. As God raises up great men in times of discord, uncertainty and grave danger, the leadership of Sir Winston proved that he was Divinely-chosen to emancipate the world from tyranny. May our Lord give him eternal rest in Heaven.
