A Year to Remember, the classic series that recalls the definitive events of the 20th century, compiles contemporary news coverage drawn from the world famous British Pathé archive. Pathé News set the standard for cinematic journalism, keeping audiences both informed and entertained for the better part of a century.

The age of the teenager dawns as post-war energy and freedom fuel music and fashion. In Rome crowds amass in St Peters Square to see the newly crowned Pope Giovanni XXIII. Across the Atlantic, President Eisenhower outlines his peace plan at the United Nations. In Britain the Queen opens Gatwick Airport. But tragedy also strikes. The Munich air disaster leaves the sporting world stunned when the plane carrying the Manchester United team crashes with 28 fatalities.
