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.

She knew Queen Victoria and held King Charles III as a baby, astonishing.
И её муж предал брата своего Николая ll
That is because she is in the 3rd generation in law of Queen Victoria descendants. You know the 3rd generation meet the 1st generation and holds the 5th or 6th generation, if she lived long enough.
que conociera a la Reia Victoria no es sorprendente, fue su suegra, ni fue sorpredente que abrazara a su bisnieto al principe CArlos, hubiera sido sorprendente si hubiera vivido hasta los 100 y hubiea conocido a Lady Di, eso si hubiera sido sorprendente.
3:49 that little baby is now king 70 years later. Incredible
The world's oldest intern finally gets his promotion...after the legal age of retirement.
Queen Mary is holding the infant Prince Charles. The continuity is so important to the institution.
That was awesome
@@Nunavuter1 Charles is already a king
@@treehouseofcomics He was a prince at the time of the photo. I could have gone with "Future King Charles III" but using his contemporary title is more appropriate in historic references.
72 years later, her great-grandson is still waiting to be King.
Queen Mary also waited with her husband for his father to die though not as long as Edward VII waited for his mother, Queen Victoria to depart this mortal coil.
🤯
no it's not 72, it's 67.
No, it's not 67. It's 68.
However many years it is I think her Majesty has done a great job despite all she’s seen e,g The death of her Mother and sister and now husband. A weaker person like myself would’ve probably thrown in the towel after the last death but not her Majesty 👊 and on the solemn day the Queen does pass her son will have Big shoes to fill and Decades of true Loyalty to earn as King.
The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II was quite possibly one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed, it was executed to perfection. Rest easy now ma'am.
Yes, Queen Elizabeth II arranged it herself and to a ‘ T ‘. I admire that.🗽🇺🇸🌺
It was nice but it was a lot on the family I bet.
It was a day consisting of endless marching to the same 3 pieces of music over and over and over again, with about 90% of the funeral spent not talking about Elizabeth herself or her achievements but instead talking about Jesus and quoting the Bible. There were an endless number of very ho-hum 1950s style hymns with only one piece of genuinely beautiful music performed in an appropriate manner for the occasion (the stunning piece sung when the coffin was first brought into the abbey). The organist made many many many mistakes in their playing on the way out, the bum notes screeching over everything. If this is one of the greatest things you've ever witnessed I wonder if you have witnessed much at all. Elizabeth II deserved less plodding about and more of a genuine funeral rather than a multi-million pound walkabout that sent everyone to sleep.
@@EC2019 I respectfully disagree.
@@EC2019 If they spent more time talking about Jesus and quoting the Bible, it was a very solemn set of ceremonies, then. Jesus > any monarch.
“Years later her great grandson will be our king”….
RIP Our Queen.
this is exactly how queen Elizabeth died. The illness that got worse, the immediate family visiting her near her death bed, the constant update about her health and finally, the death announcement.
@@daninsv well except the cause of death
That’s because of protocol. Obviously long held protocol.
The difference is at those times, the condition of the dying Queen Mary was vividly announced to the public, even a report on her gastric condition. The Queen Elizabeth II (and Prince Philip) announcement, however, didn't explictly told us about her ailing condition, just the doctor's evaluation and how's she is "comfortable" inside Balmoral, which makes us wonder what could be the exact illness that cause of their demise.
@@michaelkevinmirasol8256 At those ages (96/99yo) there isn't a certain cause of death. The organism has been working for so long that it simply is no longer able to keep going and fails, causing the death. "Died of old age" as it's said
Ooh , thats spooky don’t you think. Imagine that. Somebody in their final days is ill , gets worse , their family comes to be with them and then they die. Almost unheard of ……. Good grief !!!
''One day in the years ahead, her great grandson will be our king.'' Wow, well that day has finally come, 69 years later..
Truly incredible life of service!
Well, I loved how the narrator sounds: "Queen Mary is dead"
Angus Berwick like the Queen is dead 🤷🏾♀️ lol
Kween Merreh, iz dead.
Straight to the point
@@drstranger7430 hahahaha
Reminds me when Voldemort says "Harry Potter Is Dead" all he needed was that dodgy laugh 🤣
I was unable not to notice that Queen Elizabeth shares many of the physical (facial, and arm, and hand) movements & characteristics of her Grandmother, Queen Mary. I would have thought she would have been more like her mother, but I see more of Queen Mary in her than any of the others of influence.
Right
Well George Cambridge looks like King George VI to me.
@@melvawages7143 He does and he also somewhat looks like Charles Spencer
Indeed. I think Queen Mary was perhaps more imposing but Queen Elizabeth is more gracious.
Maybe it's because of all that inbreeding
The resemblance of Queen Elizabeth to her grandmother is uncanny.
Very uncanny indeed.
And that she died in a similar way
Really
Queen Elizabeth’s father looked like Queen Mary his mother as did the brother Edward. Queen Elizabeth looked liked none of them
@@m.e.d.7997 If you can`t see how much Queen Elizabeth looked like Queen Mary, you must be blind.
The two fellows doffing their hats whilst reading the bulletin. Such reverence sadly lost in time.
Eh?
If the Germans had invaded Britain Churchill would have been on a cruiser, along with Royals, and heading for America or some other such safe tax avoidance place,
"We will fight them the beaches" would have turned out to be "You will fight them on the beaches. "
Time to get them off the taxpayers teat.
Royals for people who can’t think out side the box.
@@lesleycarter8233 Bit of a dunce in history class were you Lesley?
@@lesleycarter8233 Hmmm, don't think America has ever been a tax avoidance centre. They would have gone to Canada anyway. Never mind. By the way, just so you know, and you can check this out with the National Audit Office, the monarchy isn't funded by the taxpayer. It is funded by the Sovereign Grant, which comes from the Crown Estate, lands that have never been owned by the taxpayer in over 800 years. The surplus income, about £300 million pounds a year, is paid to the Treasury, so the taxpayer. Far from being a drain on the taxpayer, the monarchy is a source of income. Then of course the government wastes it. Moan about the government and Parliament. They are the drain on the taxpayer.
If Mary of Teck came to your home and liked the look of an artwork or antique in your possession regardless of your feelings toward it she expected to leave with it and almost always did. To this day people are still on their knees in front of these people. They are in their privileged position through accident of birth and have done NOTHING to deserve it.
@@moraymac2922 Then go and live in a republic.I hear france is lovely, just don't go there at the weekend.
My grandparents got married the day after she died, at the church by Lambeth Palace. In the back of one of their wedding photos, you can see the flag at half mast on the Houses of Parliament.
She left instruction for Queen Elizabeth coronation to go on as planned even if she won't be there herself to support her granddaughter. She loved her so much
May they both rest in peace
2 exceptional Queens of our time....
I think the way you word that is odd as there was always the possibility a Grandmother would die before that event took place.
Edward returning from America for the funeral of a previous monarch's spouse is eerily similar to Harry returning for Phillip's funeral...
Or how they both left the Royal family. Or how they both married American divorcées.
@@jules1728 Well yes but I thought that bit went without saying
Both Queen Victoria and Elizabeth outlived their husbands.
Queen Vitoria's son Edward VII had an affair with Alice Keppel. The maternal great-grandmother of Camila Parker Bowles. Second wife of Prince Charles.
If the history continues in this... Charles will be a king only for 9 years lol
@@MahouneArrow We can only hope...
That's amazing how she stitched her signature 'Mary R' into that carpet. It genuinely looks as though she wrote it.
Lots of time to get it right, still impressive though.
What's the R stands for?

@@madenz685In the case of a male it's Rex (King), in the case of a woman it's Regina (Queen).

3:48 And one day in the years ahead, her great grandson will be our king.
The date is 8th Sep, 2022. This was filmed in 1953. Almost 70 years later.
He Is Now At The Same Exact Date You Said.
You can see she is the Queen's grandmother.
I can see a resemblance to Prince Charles and Prince Harry too.
Yes very strong family genes 🧬
@@maureendavidson4635 Yes so that debunks the theory that Harry is not Prince Charles son. Plus the fact that Harry bares a strong resemblance to a young Prince Philip when he had a beard.
I was just a little girl at the time of the passing of our much beloved Queen Mary. Yet I remember so vividly those moments and hours of sadness and sorrow. Her Majesty was indeed a great lady. May her soul Rest In Peace.
Not rude just wanna to ask
How old are you ?
75-80 mybe 😅
My Nan had the names Georgina .Mary after the King and Queen. Nan was born in 1911 in North Wales on a farm and grew up in Liverpool
So not to be weird but then…how old are you?
@@xxaesthetic_taraxx8995
She’ll be 70 now
That baby our late Majesty once cradled is now King of the UK and Northern Ireland some 71 years later on this day of coronation being 6 May 2023
He was an adorable infant. Just looking at him sleeping peacefully in his great-grandmother's arms, oblivious to everything, made me sad for all the turmoil that the future held for him.
I remember as a child of 7 watching her funeral. Nice lady.
I love watching videos of royalty,old and new and I never grow tired of these videos
Insane how this sounds exactly how the world was just a few days ago when the queen died
The present Queen is very like her both in looks and spirit.
testtube43 Agreed - very much alike both in looks and dedication.
I disagree completely, queen Mary had masculine features and passed them along to her son, George and he passed his looks down to Margaret. Queen Elizabeth had the same round face and soft features as her mother.
testtube43 I was just thinking the same thing. well said.
Queen Elizabeth is just like her. Mary's by far the greatest influence .
There is a story that one day the then Princess Elizabeth was visiting a village hall with her grandmother Mary (her parents being overseas on a tour) Princess Elizabeth said "Oh Grandmamma, look at all the people who have come to see me." Queen Mary turned to a lady-in-waiting and said "Take the Princess out through the back door and take her home immediately." She wasn't about to tolerate Elizabeth getting vain or thinking she was important
Queen Elizabeth looks a lot like her
Very much so
exactly.
They cast Aileen Atkins perfectly as Queen Mary in The Crown. The likeness was staggering.
She never looked like her
@@racheldemain1940Aileen also played a slightly younger version of her in the miniseries Bertie and Elizabeth. It was a very fitting casting!
I love this. Thanks British Pathe. Is great to show our history and this great lady was no exception. She was amazing! I’ve researched her a lot. She was a strong lady and one that was respected by million across the commonwealth.
The language used in this newsreel could pass for a very eloquent eulogy!
Yes, it could. So elegant and sober.
@Pleoryo I wish the same, Pleoryo. Oh, I sure do!
Queen Elizabeth ii looks so much like Queen Mary
Not really but her two sons looked like her.
@@m.e.d.7997 true
@un known Maybe more like princess Margareth 😅
@@m.e.d.7997 Queen Mary had 5 sons
Queen Mary has gone through 4 monarchs: her husband, her 2 sons, and her granddaughter.
No 6.She gone through Victoria and Edward VII

It's amazing that she knew both Victoria and Charles III.
I truly enjoy watching the Royal Families..
3:49: "One day in the years ahead her great-grandson will be our king". God bless H. M. king Charles III, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the whole world. Greetings from Italy.
King of whole world? I mean wtf??
@@markgoldbridgeexpressions7889 That isn't what I meant, obviously, but: God bless the whole world, and every single nation in the world. That's my humble prayer to the Almighty.
@@markgoldbridgeexpressions7889 given how many watched the funeral, she may well have been
My Aunt was named after her! Sadly died 4 years ago but I always loved her name! Now I know who Anne takes after in looks!
Anne is like Princess Alice, Prince Philips mother
I've just noticed the princess Anne resemblence myself. Lol
Queen Mary was a beautiful woman. Early pictures of her are marvelous.
Queen Mary was a customer of my aunt's antique shop in Edinburgh
From what I've read, your aunt was lucky if the old lady didn't help herself to a five-finger discount.
Now Queen Mary's granddaughter has joined her in death, her great grandson is King. Wow. Just realised that the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, looks so alike to her great grandmother, in character and in features. Thry have the exact same smile.
They have done Queen Mary proud🇬🇧
She witnessed the rule of 6 different British monarchs
When Queen Mary was born Germany didn't exist, Canada was still in the process of forming from it's constituent provinces and Japan was still ruled by a shogun. She lived long enough to meet the man who would be king in 2022.
She was said to be a great collector of people's things. There are stories that when she visited the great houses of other royals and gentry they would hide anything they not want her to see. She was said to be very persuasive in getting people to gift something to her that she liked. Of
Thats called theft by deception where im from lol the rotton cheek of it 😂
Her great grandson is only just now become our king
‘One day in the year ahead her great grandson will become king’ and that has only just happened now
“One day in the years ahead, her great grandson will be king”…and here we are (September 2022)
His time has come 3:50
Long live the king 🤴🏻
3:48 It feels so weird watching the grandmother of the Queen, who many people associate with being an elderly woman, holding the now King Charles. "One day in the years ahead, her great-grandson will be our King".
Time, it's a crazy thing
2022 RIP Queen Elizabeth 😢
Her great grandson is now finally king.

What are they doing?

God bless Queen Mary. A grand & gracious lady. Beloved of the ppl. R.I.P.
0:24 Sounds very similar to Queen Elizabeth now, Rest in Peace
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth and. All Royal family together in heaven 💔💔💔
Mary couldn’t stand her eldest son, even before he abdicated you can see this in her face every time he speaks. The enthusiasm leaves her face, it grows somber, flat, and stale. She looks bored around, like he’s a narrow minded one task Tom can only think about one thing at a time.
Queen Mary was a cold and uncaring mother towards young John, Edward resented her for that. Both King George and Queen Mary flattened Edward's confidence, he would have been a very earnest King, genuine sympathies for the less fortunate also religious convictions.
yup
He was a playboy and a party animal. He wasn't fit to be king.
@@bonniemagpie9960 His father flattened his confidence, his mother did not.
Great granddaughter of George III, Great Grandmother of Charles III. History is amazing.
and wife of George V who is also descendant of George III.
Why did we stop wearing hats? The fashion back then was soo glamorous and classy
"long had she been with us that is seemed that time itself could not overcome that unconquerable spirit" we'll be saying the same thing when her grand daughter, our current queen dies.
Well, you were right.
3:48 That day came old chap... God save the King!
who came here after The Crown?
Queen Elizabeth is so like her Grandmother.
Her great great granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex is so very like her, much more so than any of the others.
Love her ❤️
Elizabeth looks exactly like her grandmother it’s uncanny the similarities in later age
At 2:40 I automatically thought that everyone was holding up cellphones to take videos. Then I had to pause and remember what year this footage was from. 😂😂
Hello,you look gorgeous and you smile is so beautiful please always wear that smile your face
Her granddaughter reminds me a lot of her
Now we know who queen Elizabeth looks like in her senior years
Thank you for the video so great story video
I wish they spoke like this in today’s news
Same ;(
Just lovely.
God. I just love history 🥹
3:49 That day being today.
At 2:38, that's insane how look like they're holding phones!
We lived through the exact same thing. Exactly like this.
The great grandson is now the King probably a little bit later then she and everyone else expected
3:48 - we now know that day as the 8th September 2022
Well, the great grand Son time has come.
There’d never be a reception like this today
Boy this aged well...
A wonderful piece of history . And in 2019 we still wait for her grandson to be king .
Great-grandson
Thank God for that! May Him preserve Queen Elizabeth, please.
Manuela Rita Dear God, I’ve seen you on many of these comments. What makes the Prince of Wales unfit to be King. And this doesn’t have anything to do with Diana. What would make him a bad *KING* , not person, not husband.
Sorry he died
I prayed it would never happen. But it has sadly
I wish commentators would speak like this today.
After watching the Crown I’m here crying
Angela Yabar Can't watch the Crown after its portrayal of King George VI . They could easily have found an actor who was actually like him physically - slender, athletic, and fairly handsome, actually. Instead, their portrayal border on slander - not to diss or badmouth the actor, who was probably doing his best. However, King George VI had kind eyes not practically vacant and cow like ones. For a reasonably good portrayal of him the made for TV movie Bertie and Elizabeth is best or even The King's Speech ( although Bertie's eyes were blue not brown and he never yelled at this therapist - their relationship was always friendly and professional).Still, for a reasonably decent portrayal of King George VI watch Bertie and Elizabeth or The King's Speech. To see the real Bertie ( King George VI) watch King George VI and Elizabeth A Royal Love Story.
55 years later. Charles still isn't king!!!!!!!
Wonderful!
*65 yrs
Definitely for the best.
'And one day in the years ahead, her great-grandson will be our King."Yeah, 70 years ahead lol. Who'd have thought.
R.I.P.
2021.. not yet young charlie
& here we are, almost come full circle
She was a class act for sure.
Queen Mary had exquisite taste in things. Treasures loved today still inspiring to art lovers.
Aww, little baby Prince Charles
Elegy by Thalben Ball lovely arrangement so appropriate
…and her great-grandson did indeed become king!
I have watched this before, but then it was just an interesting piece of history from the year before I was born. Now, however, I felt a poignancy that I had not had before. I have experienced the death of Queen Elizabeth, and now I understand how the people of 1953 felt.
3:49 and the great grandson finally became King on 09-09-22
She looked a lot like her granddaughter Elizabeth
No like her sons
Queen Elizabeth is now with all her ancestors and Prince Phillip and Princess Margaret.
THAT woman performed her duties admirably. She did her duty. She loved HER country, although her formative years had been spent in Italy, where she learned to appreciate ART. Sadly, this gave rise to a kind of kleptomania: she desired 'things'. She'd visit friends' country houses and say 'I like that', then, she'd go around antique shops in places like Edinburgh and just pick things up and take them away with her. All this is well-documented.
“and one day her great grandson will become king.”
It seems like history is repeating itself. Queen Elizabeth ll lost her father just the year before in 1952, then a year later she loses her grandmother. Fast forward 70 years and our new king, Charles lll is going through a similar thing. Losing his father Prince Philip then his mother, the Queen , the year after.
Hello,you look gorgeous and you smile is so beautiful please always wear that smile your face
Interesting that many of these statements, made without context, could easily apply to the most recent queen as well.
“In some years ahead her great grandson will be king?” May not happen ever
Hmm let’s talk about 9/8/2022
Ah yes, the person where one of the greatest ocean liner ever built is named after. RMS Queen Mary.
Queen Mary ...you couldn't look more, "Queen" like ...than Mary
69 years later, Prince Charles finally becomes King Charles III. Long live the King 👑
She was known to be very strict on etiquette and court ceremony. She would have something to say about the likes of Boris turning up at court with hair like that.
Wowza queen Mary outlived her second oldest son over one year
What a great and gracious Lady. My Mother when she was a child lived during a time that Britain had three Queens and no King. Amazing. I'll likely never see a Queen (in her own right) again in my lifetime... 🤯
