The newsreel recap of the John Kennedy funeral.
The security is incredibly informal by today's standards, even though an American President had just been shot. Lyndon, Queen Elizabeth, and Charles De Gaulle are just wandering through the crowd.

It's even more difficult to watch John-John's salute now, knowing all that has passed since.

This is part of The Smoking Gun's video collection. Lots of great baby boomer nostalgia.
