The country would benefit from this man’s leadership today !

A majestic piece of British history, a man who changed or molded the future for us. May we not forget.

The scene that stays with me was the end of his funeral. His coffin was placed in a train and filmed from above so you saw the steam blowing as the train chuffed out of London to go to Bladon. As the train passed the London docks every crane dipped to honour him. Very moving.

I am an American and Winston Churchill is someone I greatly admire. It also makes me feel good to know that he was very proud of his American heritage. It was something special to him. The man is a giant of history.

Hi Paul, thanks again for an excellent post. A couple of Saturdays after Sir Winston Churchill was buried, my parents and grandparents took me to visit his grave in Bladon churchyard. So many people felt the need to pay their respects to him, that cars were being parked in farmers’ fields over a mile away from the church. I was only a lad of fourteen, and it was wintertime, but I didn’t mind queuing for what seemed ages. Somehow we were doing what was necessary. Many years later I was driving a van through Bladon, and stopped to have my sandwiches by the church. It was so peaceful. He was still there.

Thanks Paul for this. Such a strong and powerful leader. Just what we need today

In my view Churchill was the right man at the right time. We as a nation were extremely lucky to have him in such dangerous times. I was lucky enough to visit his resting place a few years ago, it's a lovely place and very accessible.
Nice video Paul, thank you Winston Churchill you done good !

Such an amazing man, the best leader we have ever had, no one has been like it since.

I’ve been to the Churchill war rooms in London, And I’ve been to the beaches of Normandy in France

He was the leader the world needed at the time to bring everything together. I still find it hilarious his phone back to my side of the ocean here in the USA, was disguised as his own personal toilet

Definitely one of the worlds greatest men of the 20th Century, great video

I just found out yesterday, one of my great uncle’s I never met, was one of the many Americans 🇺🇸 that stormed the Beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944

What a life lived. An absolute Titan of a man in relation to our freedom that we so enjoy. During the toughest of times his leadership was truly incredible. Great video Paul. 🇬🇧

Went to visit his grave last year, took a couple of foreign students, who wanted to see where he was laid to rest. Imagine there surprise, when the came up to that small beautiful churchyard, the asked why was he there, instead of his family home. I couldn't answer them really, but I think it's a beautiful place to be buried, and very very English. Perfect for him.

I vaguely remember seeing his funeral on TV. He was a great leader and we could do with him today.
A very fitting resting place for him. There’s nothing like a beautiful, English churchyard and churches.

If it wasn’t for Churchill we would all be speaking German ! Massive respect for him x

[ritageddes]

At the age if 15 my parents, both of whom were in the Air Force during the war, took me to attend the laying in State for this amazing man. I will never forget taking the day off school.

My father was a politician and knew Sir Winston. When my father died, my mother received a letter from Lady Clementine. Love your videos Paul x

Such a beautiful peaceful place for his final resting place along with his adored wife “Clemny” and surrounded by his parents and other family members. I can remember as a child what a great impression he had made on the country with his latter contributions, and support of the Queen. I was just ten years old when he died, and sobbed my heart out watching his funeral on our little black and white tv. Even at that age I recognised someone great had passed on. We could do with his like again, but fear we never will. It’s nice that there is also a memorial in St Paul’s where his funeral took place, and can well imagine people being surprised that he is actually here in this beautiful little country churchyard. I know which I would choose given a choice too! Thankyou for all the research Paul..I didn’t know he died the same date as his father ! And Thankyou for taking us on another peaceful, picturesque resting place of an individual who made a mark in our lives. Drive carefully and stay safe! Love Helen in Norfolk. 🙋‍♀️💕😘🦋🦋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[glenndemicol]

[steveoz]

Always remember watching his funeral on TV at the time, I as 9 years old and didn't realise how important he was to our country. RIP Winston
