I found this link on the BMF to some footage of Lord Roberts, thought it might be of interest to our members.

Oh Mike :(
Sorry about that, its an 8 minute film that has been restored and pieced together showing Lord Roberts with veterans in Liverpool.
Most of them look a good age, could have served in the Crimean!

Hello Paul,
Can you begin to imagine what that would have looked like if you had been there, all the colour, the swans plumes in the Field Marshal's hat etc, it was interesting to see the Jack Tar too, the odd man out.
Regards Frank
