50 years ago: Maltese independence on the Pathé News reel

Here's the official reel from British Pathé's film of Independence Day back in 1964. Further down there is a silent reel of the proceedings of the day, with Prince Philip and Governor-General Maurice Dorman side by side. And another blast from the past, this time from 1955, where Labour prime minister Dom Mintoff attempts to sell his proposal for integration to the United Kingdom, before the rebuff that set in motion the wheels for Independence.
