Perhaps you first went to school or college that year, or embarked on your career. It could even be the year you retired. Whatever the occasion, a volume of A Year To Remember is the perfect gift (for others or yourself ). Produced entirely using approximately an hour of historic footage filmed by British Pathé News, each volume provides a detailed history of the year and will bring the memories flooding back!

Full description from the producer:

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. This programme does the same for a new generation and details not only the major political issues that dominated the day, but also key social changes and cultural trends. This hour-long episode chronicles that remarkable year, 1947. In this eventful year the strained Anglo-Russian relationship continues to trouble, but there s a flicker of hope on the horizon. Meanwhile, across the pond, President Harry Truman establishes the Truman Doctrine, designed to challenge the Soviet threat during the Cold War. Australia gives the British government a most splendid gift of £20,000,000 to help the nation out of its post-war economic difficulties. In the Middle East, the United Nations proposes the Partition Plan for Palestine. Public Enemy No 1, Al Capone, Chicago’s notorious Prohibition-era gangster dies, aged 48
