November, 1931: Sir Edward Elgar says hello to the orchestra and conducts the trio of his Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 (2 minutes):
This was at the opening of EMI's Abbey Road studios, London. (No snapshot of Elgar on the zebra crossing with Sir Arnold Bax, Sir Walford Davies and Dame Ethel Smyth?)

Actually that picture does exist. If you look closely you can see the horseless carriage behind has the licence plate "1934" which proves Elgar was dead and they replaced him with Yehudi Menuhin.
And if you play the clip backwards it says "Bombard me with intimate attentions like something out of that German philosopher chappie, what?"
